1985: Howard Cosell

December 19th, 2009

In 1985, ABC announced they were severing ties with Howard Cosell.

Many of us knew him simply as television commentator, but he started down a different road early in life.

Cosell was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina to Nellie and Isidore Cohen, who was an accountant. He was raised in Brooklyn, New York. His parents had wanted him to become a lawyer. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English from New York University, where he was a member of Pi Lambda Phi. He then went to the New York University School of Law where he earned his JD, and was a member of the NYU Law Review.

Howard Cosell sold a lot of products in his day, I just can’t remember if he ever pitched the best hair loss products or not. Do you even remember Howard Cosell?
