Emmy Award-winning host Tom Bergeron began his broadcasting career in 1972 in his hometown of Haverhill, MA.
In 1994, he became host of Breakfast Time on fX. This was before the cable channel was successful enough to afford the upper-case F they now use. The show morphed into Fox After Breakfast and moved to the FOX network, where the use of all upper-case letters offered little consolation. The show was canceled after one season.
Deftly dodging unemployment, Bergeron became fill-in anchor on Good Morning America in 1997, a position he held until segueing to Hollywood Squares in 1998. At this point, Edward R. Murrow could be heard spinning in his grave.
While hosting Hollywood Squares, Bergeron multi-tasked his way into a fill-in anchor gig on CBS' The Early Show . He is currently the host of ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos as well as the Emmy Award-winning host of ABC's hit show Dancing with the Stars, one of television's most popular programs.
In 2009, Bergeron published his memoir, I'm Hosting as Fast as I Can!: Zen and the Art of Staying Sane in Hollywood. It's the inside story from Bergeron about his start in local radio at age 17, move into improvisational theater and rise to hosting high-profile gigs. This is the trying and laugh-out-loud journey that Bergeron took to get to know himself -- including the ways he found to cope with balancing work, family and dreams.
