Numerous clips of
The Battle of the Network Stars are over on YouTube.
When I was little my parents used to watch this TV special religiously. The pseudo-athletic event was held over at Pepperdine University overlooking Malibu with host Howard Cossell of Monday Night Football fame. One byproduct of the show was that it highlighted those with real athletic ability with those who had padded their resume.
Here is a famous incident in TV sports history with Robert Conrad disputing the results of a relay race. Strutting around like an insulted bantam rooster, Conrad demands another race with Gabriel Kaplan of
Welcome Back Kotter. The comedian even in his prime was hardly a chiseled stallion with six-pack abs.
YouTube - Battle of the Network Stars - Conrad vs. Kaplan
Note how Robert Conrad expertly crouches in the starters box, legs filled with adrenaline, a sprinting cheetah about to unleash a record-setting 220 yard dash. Gabe Kaplin by contrast looks like a customer waiting for his bagel and lox at a Jewish deli. They take-off with Robert Conrad yards ahead, being helped by the fact that Gabe Kaplan stays in his outer- and longer- lane. However coming out of the far turn for home something miraculous happens, something no one could have foreseen. Kaplan suddenly looks as if he is a gazelle with afterburners attached to his ass, smartly pulling away with every stride from the tiny (5' 6") straining Conrad. Television history is made on that day in 1976!
