On the Record with Bob Costas was, in a sense, similar to Costas' previous late night talk show, Later, which Costas hosted on NBC from 1988 to 1994. Both programs featured one-on-one interviews with guests from the sports and show business.
In 2021, HBO announced a revival of the show, now titled Back on the Record with Bob Costas – presumably retitled to minimize confusion with the unrelated 2020 HBO Max documentary On the Record – which premiered on July 30, 2021, and air up to four times per year.[1] In December 2022, HBO confirmed that the show was canceled after two seasons.[2]
