Tom Bergeron
Host of America's Funniest Home Videos

Tom Bergeron began his career in the early '70s as a disc jockey for his Haverhill, Massachusetts, hometown radio station, WHAV. He was the youngest DJ in the state. At the same time he was an editorial cartoonist on several local newspapers, including the Haverhill Gazette and Haverhill Independent.

In 1980 Bergeron created and hosted "The Tom Bergeron Show," a highly rated late-night comedy talk program. He joined Boston's WBZ-TV in 1982 as host of several of the station's programs, including "4 Today" and two Emmy Award-winning shows for children -- "Super Kids" and "Rap Around." By 1987 he was the anchor of WBZ-TV's Emmy Award-winning "People Are Talking," Boston's top-rated daily show.

In 1993 Bergeron was tapped to host "Breakfast Time" for FX and, after much critical success, "Breakfast Time" made a smooth transition from cable to network television by re-launching on FOX in 1996 as "Fox After Breakfast."

The father of two daughters, Bergeron has been the host of "Hollywood Squares" since 1998 and received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host. He has also lent his more than 20 years of broadcasting experience to ABC's "Good Morning America," where he has served as a fill-in anchor, and recently substituted for Bryant Gumbel on CBS' "The Early Show."
