Garagiola Wits Pays Off New TV Role on Today Show
Joe Garagiola, former MLB player and longtime sportscaster, has become a regular on NBCs Today show at age 42. He moved from sports scores to nonathletic interviews, impressing viewers with humor and quick wit after a successful run with Hugh Downs. The St Louis native, who won the 1946 World Series with the Cardinals and later played for the Pirates and Cubs, credits producer Al Morgan for shaping his warmer, more human on air persona. He balances NBC radio, Today show segments, and a busy speaking schedule, living in Scarsdale with wife Audrie and three sports-minded children.
