Al Michaels
Al Michaels is an American sports broadcaster who currently serves as the play-by-play announcer for Amazon Prime Video's Thursday Night Football and holds an emeritus role at NBC Sports. He is best known for his iconic call of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid and for his decades-long tenure calling prime-time NFL games, including 20 years on ABC's Monday Night Football and 15 years on NBC's Sunday Night Football. He is the only play-by-play commentator to have covered the championships of all four major U.S. sports: the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals, and Stanley Cup Final.
“Bob Iger, one of his first acts as CEO, did the deal... Al Michaels, the Monday Night Football commentator — like a sports team trade — to NBC in exchange for the IP rights to Oswald the Rabbit.”
