Al Michaels
He is a legendary sports broadcaster known best for his call of the 1980 Olympic "Miracle on Ice" game and his work on Monday Night Football
Michaels' career took off in 1971 when he began working in network sports television, and he quickly became a prominent figure in the industry. He spent nearly 30 years with ABC Sports, where he became the voice of Monday Night Football from 1986 to 2005. His transition to NBC Sports in 2006 saw him take on the role of play-by-play announcer for Sunday Night Football, a position he held until 2021. His longevity and consistency in the booth have earned him widespread acclaim and numerous awards, including multiple Sports Emmy Awards.
Beyond football, Michaels is also known for his iconic calls in other major sporting events. One of his most famous moments came during the 1980 Winter Olympics when he delivered the unforgettable "Do you believe in miracles?" line after the U.S. hockey team's stunning victory over the Soviet Union, a moment now known as the "Miracle on Ice." Another notable moment in his career occurred during Game 3 of the 1989 World Series, which was interrupted by a major earthquake. Michaels' calm and professional demeanor during the crisis further solidified his reputation as a top-tier broadcaster.
Michaels' contributions to sports broadcasting have earned him numerous accolades, including induction into the Television Academy Hall of Fame. His ability to capture the drama and excitement of live sports has made him a beloved figure among fans and athletes alike. His legacy as one of the greatest play-by-play announcers in history is firmly established, and his influence on the industry continues to be felt today.
