Mark L. Walberg has been a fixture of American television for decades. For the past 15 years, millions have enjoyed him as the host of Antiques Roadshow - PBS’ highest rated original prime-time show. In addition, Mark is happy to reprise his role as host of the hit dating/reality show Temptation Island on USA Network.
Walberg started his TV career as a production assistant at Dick Clark Productions, but quickly moved in front of the camera as the announcer for the popular game show, Shop Til You Drop. He then hosted ESPN’s Burnt Toast, an extreme sports magazine show. It was there that the late Brandon Tartikoff noticed his work and, in 1995, executive produced the nationally syndicated The Mark Walberg Show.
Since then, Mark has hosted numerous series including USA’s The Big Date, GSN’s Russian Roulette, and, in 2001, Fox’s highest rated show ever, Temptation Island. Mark also created and executive produced Sunday Dinner, the first original series of the Odyssey Network, now Hallmark Channel. He and his team received an Emmy nomination and a Silver Telly win for their PBS special, Buried History with Mark Walberg.
While Mark has loved being a game show host, he also has proven to be a great contestant, winning The Weakest Link as a celebrity contestant playing for one of his charities, Goodwill SoCal.
