John Davidson

John Hamilton Davidson (born December 13, 1941) is an American actor, singer, and game show host known for hosting That's Incredible!, Time Machine, and Hollywood Squares in the 1980s, and a revival of The $100,000 Pyramid in 1991. Davidson was born to Dr. James Allie Davidson (1908–1984) and Elizabeth Emma Beck (1908–1996), both Baptist ministers, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He lived in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, and graduated from White Plains High School (in White Plains, New York), then entered Denison University. He considered following in his parents' footsteps, but ultimately decided that he "would rather sing about love than preach it."

Davidson worked in situation comedies, game shows, variety shows, and talk shows. In 1964 he appeared in the Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation of The Fantastiks with Ricardo Montalbán and Susan Watson. In the summer of 1966, he was the host of two prime-time variety hour shows, The Kraft Summer Music Hall and The John Davidson Show, the latter of which included George Carlin and Richard Pryor. In the 1980s he became well known for co-hosting That's Incredible! (1980–84), a human-interest/stunt-themed series.
