Battle of the Network Stars
Battle #4
May 7th, 1978
Hosts: Howard Cosell, Bruce Jenner
& Suzanne Somers

Larry Wilcox

There was a odd collection of celebrities on this version of the series.  Usually, it's 'network stars' hence the title.  For this edition, they seemed to stretch it a bit with the inclusion of model Cheryl Tiegs and singers Debbie Boone and  The Captain and Tennille. I'm sure they were guests on a network show or special, but not acting as a regular on a series. 


There were several celebrities in Battle IV that I had to Google.  I did know who actor Larry Wilcox was though.  Although I've never seen CHiPs, I was aware of the cast and the show.  I did have to Google Kene Holliday, James MacArthur, Richard Benjamin, Rhonda Bates, Dennis Dugan and Bo Svenson. 

Svenson

Although I didn't know who Svenson was, I did find a few shots of him in a speedo from his time Battling on the reality show.  I can't figure out what show he was on, the Swedish actor and director was on the CBS team, but he wasn't on a series at the time.  Might have been a guest shot or a TV movie. Thanks to Svenson's strength in the swimming relay, CBS took the win in this Battle.
