Bob Costas Gives Props To Ludacris

Bob Costas might be the last person one would expect to throw down a verse from a Ludacris song on live television.

Costas didn't exactly specify one artist, but he did "give props" to Ludacris. In the song "Hip Hop Quotables" on Ludacris' third album, "Chicken-n-Beer," the rapper name-checks Costas.
