4. Don Meredith
Part of the charm of the Monday Night Football booth with Frank Gifford and Howard Cosell was former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Don Meredith. The trio had the perfect blend. Gifford told it as it was. Cosell opined and Meredith entertained in a charming way. He was known for singing “Turn out the lights, the party’s over” (a line from a Willie Nelson song, “The Party’s Over”) when a game had been decided. Fantastic stuff and totally natural. You can’t teach that kind of chemistry.
