Yes, Jim McKay Did Have A Sense Of Humor…

Some thought ABC’s top sportscaster had no sense of humor, but as you can see with this ‘crew gag’, he did. This is from the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics. I think everyone in the anchor booth and truck had a pair of these and the rumor was, they wore them quite a bit to break up the fatigue of very long days that included covering events live and coming back on the air in US prime time to host the highlights of the day.
