Biography/History John Davidson is an entertainer who was born on December 13, 1941 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Denison University, he appeared on Broadway and then landed a job as a regular on the variety series The Entertainers. He quickly became a familiar figure on American television screens, hosting different iterations of The Kraft Music Hall as well as his own eponymous variety show from 1969-1970. In the 1970s he was a frequent panelist on The Hollywood Squares and one of the recurrent guest hosts of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. He also had numerous acting roles and in 1973-1974 he co-starred with Sally Field in the sitcom The Girl with Something Extra. In the 1980s he hosted a daytime talk show (again called The John Davidson Show) while also serving as a cohost of the primetime series That's Incredible! Throughout the years he has recorded several record albums and made numerous television appearances while also performing in live theater.
