2011
Overview
In the 1970s, Knievel, the motorcycle daredevil clad in a white jumpsuit, flew over cars and buses and canyons (well, he had issues with the canyons) and became a branded entity on ABC's \"Wide World of Sports,\" on which he would appear 17 times in 10 years, and draw the highest ratings in the show's history (some 55 million viewers) when he jumped over 14 Greyhound buses at the Kings Island Amusement Park near Cincinnati in 1975. According to Hamilton's own autobiography, quoted here, Knievel, angered by what he'd been told was a critical portrayal of him, summoned Hamilton to his Hollywood motel and ordered the actor to read the script at gunpoint.
