About The Author: Verna was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He died in Palm Desert, California of acute lymphoblastic leukemia at the age of 81. Early Career: Verna is credited with having invented instant replay, first used by CBS Sports during the Army-Navy game on December 7, 1963. Broadcast Hallmarks: Verna's broadcast hallmark was an ability to continually come up with advances in the use of cameras, program content and creative interplay. It was this skill that prompted him to use a trick left over from radio days in order to outwit the technology of the times and allow for a play on the field to be re-broadcast “instantly." Verna's varied career includes creating, producing and directing Pope John Paul II's billion-viewer television special "A Prayer for World Peace" and the historic music spectacular "Live Aid." As President of Caesar's Palace Productions, Verna was involved in all their spectacular entertainment projects.
