Notes: "Someone told me that you mentioned me in a newspaper in regard to your new show? For personal reasons I must decline any commitments until next year. I might add that the equally weird and wonderful monsieur Ringo Starr might well be available for your variety show! (and more suited, perhaps.) I wish you all the best. I'm sure it's going to be a big hit!..."
A nice association between the two. Cosell wanted to reunite the Beatles on his variety show Saturday Night Live (predating the present SNL), which aired on ABC between 1975-76. When Lennon declined, Cosell booked the Bay City Rollers for their American debut.
