It's like one of those things where if you stare at it long enough, your eyes start playing tricks with your brain.
What do they call 'em? Optical dillusions?
So here's Bob Costas, the multi-Emmy Award winning NBC/HBO host with the most who, by all estimates measures maybe 5-foot ... should we stop there? How about 5-foot 7? That's what this story from Televisionweek claims him to be. It's also the same as is listed on the IMDB.com site (he's made so many movies, from "BASEketball" to taking a whiz in "The Paper," we just can't name 'em all ... and did you know he was divorced a couple years back and has recently remarried, according to this site?)
And there's Conan O'Brien, the snarky late-night talk show host, who admits to being about 6-foot-4, and has that in his IMDB.com data base, so it must be true. It's gotta be more with his hair.
And then this picture shows up, from Premiere Radio Network, showing how Costas "decided to level the playing field" when he had O'Brien into the New York studios as a guest on "Costas On The Radio," which launched Saturday. It's syndicated on 90 stations, including KLAC-AM (570). Sorry we missed it. But at least we got a nice visual now.
