After earning his degree in history, Ebersol went full-time with ABC before joining NBC in 1974. By 1976 he was head of the network's late-night programming. That year he married Susan Stafford, then hostess of NBC's Wheel of Fortune. They parted 18 months later, but, says Dick, "I learned to be communicative."
""Stafford married radio pioneer Gordon McLendon in 1973, and was then briefly married to Dick Ebersol of NBC Sports and former producer of Saturday Night Live in the 1980s. Ebersol and Stafford were married on a beach in Malibu. Their wedding was attended by the likes of John Belushi, Chevy Chase, and SNL producer Lorne Michaels. After they exchanged vows, Chase jokingly grabbed Stafford and threw her into the ocean."
