AFV & Game Show Hosts

America's Funniest Home Videos (AFHV or AFV) has been on since 1989 and has been renewed for a 19th season. Hosts included Bob Saget (1989-97), Daisy Fuentes & John Fugelsang (1998-01), & Tom Bergeron (2001-Present).
Tom has also been a host for Hollywood Squares (1998- 04) & Dancing with the Stars (2005-Present).
I always mix Tom up with Chuck Woolery who I knew as hosting Lingo (2002-Present), but whom has also hosted Wheel (1975-81), Love Connection (1983-95), Scrabble (1984-90 & 93), The Dating Game (1997-99), & Greed (1999-00). Thanks wiki!
