Wide World of Sports



Wide World of Sports (or ABC's Wide World of Sports ) was an ABC sports series that ran from 1961 to 1998. Originally hosted by Jim McKay, the show covered everything from Wimbledon to The Indianapolis 500. Aside from the hosts, the series also featured many famous announcers, including Howard Cosell, David Letterman, and O.J. Simpson.

Louis Kazagger and the Muppet Sports sketches are a loose parody of the series and Jim McKay's opening monologue for the show.
