Dennis James was among the first television announcers and game show hosts, and &#8220;made his bones&#8221;, partially by cracking chicken bones (on mic) as he called wrestling matches which were a staple of early television. He is also the first person to record a commercial on video tape, but his depth and stature is much greater. As good friend Monty Hall will tell you, Dennis James  is truly one of television&#8217;s great pioneers.
