Has anyone else noticed how much CNBC now sounds and looks like ESPN?

They probably both have predominently male audiences, but is Wall Street really just a game?

And who is the CNBC equivalent of Howard Cosell?

 

New Cosell

Cramer, of course. Like Cosell, he is both the most loved and the most hated person on the network.

Yes, it is Cramer. Not even

Yes, it is Cramer. Not even close.


Cramer - spencer proved it

Anyone could (and did) imitate Gifford or Meredith. NO ONE ever imitated Cosell, except Billy Crystal.
