Early life and career
Bergeron, the son of Ray and Kay Bergeron, was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Bergeron is of French and Irish descent. When being interviewed on Howard Stern's show, Bergeron revealed that after reaching out to Larry Fine and Moe Howard of the Three Stooges, he interviewed them.
He started working as a disc jockey at local radio station WHAV in Haverhill, Massachusetts, in his home town. On Portsmouth's WHEB, he performed comedy, film, and offbeat interviews. His fame resulted in more TV and radio appearances.
On New Hampshire Public Television, one of his first jobs on television was as host of a local game show, Granite State Challenge (produced at NHP TV flagship station WENH-TV). In February 1982, he went to the Boston market and joined WBZ-TV as a general on-air host. During WBZ's daytime lineup (1983-1977), his early work at the station included being a writer on Evening Magazine (1982-1977), as well as hosting brief informational and show preview segments such as 4 Today, every 30 minutes. He was granted the hosting position on Lottery Live, the Massachusetts State Lottery games' nightly drawings. Bergeron introduced People Are Talking to his Jobs in January 1987, although he was still serving in those positions. On the early afternoon talk show, where he gained even more fame, he replaced outgoing host Buzz Luttrell. Although Ron Cantera took over as host of 4 Today (until it was cancelled in 1988), Bergeron remained lottery host until drawings were moved to WNEV-TV in August 1987. Bergeron also appeared on WBZ's teenage debate show Rap-Around from 1987 to 1989.
Bergeron was a well-known figure in Boston television by the 1990s, and WBZ continued to capitalize on his abilities by including him on WBZ Radio. It was at that time that he had the Tom Bergeron Exhibition, an early-morning radio show. Bergeron stayed on WBZ-TV as a commentator and lifestyle reporter for the station's new hour-long noon newscast when People Are Talking's successful 13-year tenure in June 1993. Bergeron appeared on Boston's soft-rock station WMJX ("Magic 106.7") in early 1994, but it was only a short commute to his noon news studios.
Bergeron attributes a portion of his fame as a television star to his Transcendental Meditation. With Dan Harris and The Fifth Dimension: A Mindfulness Podcast, he talked about his meditation routine on ten percent Happier.
Since 1994 to 1997, Bergeron co-hosted Breakfast Time on FX and later renamed Fox After Breakfast, a Fox Network show.
Bergeron was the host of Hollywood Squares from 1998 to 2004, a role for which he received the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host in 2000.
He joined ABC's Funniest Home Videos in February 2001. After season 25, Bergeron revealed on Twitter that he would not be hosting America's Funniest Home Videos. Bergeron's last episode of America's Funniest Home Videos aired on May 17, 2015. Alfonso Ribeiro had him replaced.
He began starring Dancing with the Stars in June 2005, which was also on ABC. He received nine Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program, including Dancing with the Stars, in 2012.
