One of the busiest men in television, Tom Bergeron again hosts the phenomenally popular Dancing With the Stars and serves as emcee of the long-running comic clip favorite America's Funniest Home Videos.
When first approached about Dancing with the Stars, Bergeron thought his agent was joking. "Oh, come on, ballroom dancing?" the Emmy Award winner said. "I've done talk shows, game shows, news shows, award shows, but I had never done a variety show. There was nothing else like it on television." While he didn't sense that it would morph into the massive hit that it's become, Bergeron felt it would at least be a good time. Today, the show is a bona fide hit. And the show's popular host even stepped onto the dance floor to experience the grueling routines his celebrity contestants endure. "I love exercising, working out, and staying fit, so I'm fairly coordinated," Bergeron admits. "But dancing is a different kind of discipline."
