Steve Levy (born March 12, 1965), is currently a journalist for ESPN. Before working for ESPN, he worked in New York for WFAN. At ESPN, he usually works on SportsCenter, and he covered NHL regular season and playoff games before the network lost the rights to televise the league's games.
Levy's NHL broadcasting career is very significant. His nickname is "Mr. Overtime", as he has called the three longest televised games in NHL history, all of which have been playoff games — a 1996 game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Washington Capitals that went four overtimes (third longest); a 2000 contest that also featured the Penguins, this time playing the Philadelphia Flyers, which went five overtimes (the longest); and a 2003 matchup between the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and the Dallas Stars, which also went five overtimes, and lasted six hours (second longest).
Steve was a 1987 graduate of the State University of New York at Oswego.
Steve is also known for leaving fellow co-anchor Keith Olbermann in stitches when he mispronounced the term "Bulging Disc" for "Bulging Dick".
Most recently, Steve has appeared in a print advertisement for Swiss watchmaker, Raymond Weil Geneva.
He appeared as himself in a pair of 2005 films, covering the Boston Red Sox in spring training in Fever Pitch, and the Special Olympics in The Ringer.
