As Bob Costas prepares to host what seems like his 78th Olympics this week for NBC, there are few broadcasters in television, let alone sports, that carry the kind of weighty clout that Costas does. That's why it's so refreshing to be reminded of the fact that Bob Costas is in fact human, and not some kind of broadcasting cyborg that looks down upon earthlings with disdain.
This video released on YouTube features a rare behind-the-scenes look at Costas fidgeting before he goes on the air to close Sunday Night Football from an old broadcast. Watch as Bob Costas' face twists and twitches around in ways that you may not have thought possible…
Even Bob Costas has to wait around for people with nothing better to do than kill time. Imagine that! As far as his gameface goes, it's not a bad effort as that video is capable of producing a couple of memorable stills that could become meme-worthy for the Winter Olympics that he'll be hosting. But as far as legendary sports anchors making weird faces goes, nobody will ever top Bob Ley.
