Telly Savalas complains that a grievous error occurred in the baton race that later cost NBC a 2 second penalty. He, of course, fails to point out that all 3 teams had run out of their lanes which is a disqualification. (edit) Ron Howard and Mackenzie Phillips were co-stars in the classic "American Graffiti" (1973) They also starred in the sequel "More American Graffiti" (1979) (edit) NBC's Captain Robert Conrad explodes after his team is dropped from first place to second in the running relay, due to a protest by Kojak himself, Telly Savalas. He challenges ABC Captain Gabe Kaplan to run it off in a one-on-one race. Kaplan wins, meaning ABC keeps the first place position. I was rooting for Bob, but I think that quick cigarette he had cost him the race. He took it like a man, but when will people ever learn... (edit)

Bob Costas: Sorry about what happened Telly.
Telly Savalas: I don't think I am Howard. I mean I hate to say, I'm a sore loser. The Strategy is still paying off. Now I'd rather play against ABC the weaklings than NBC in the tug-of war. (edit)
