Page "Bob Costas" Paragraph 7

When Costas was first hired by NBC, Don Ohlmeyer, who at the time ran the network's sports division, told the then 28-year-old Costas that he looked like a 14-year-old ( a story that Costas would recite during an appearance on Late Night with Conan O ' Brien when O ' Brien commented about Costas ' apparent inability to " age " normally ).

Ohlmeyer presumably based his reaction on Costas ' modest stature ( Costas is 5 ' 7 " in height ) and boyish, babyfaced appearance.
