Avis de l'équipe
Tom Bergeron is the on-air host not only of the hugely successful Dancing with the Stars but also of America's Funniest Home Videos. He has won a Daytime Emmy and a Primetime Emmy and is considered a legend of real-time, live, "reactive" comedy. In I'm Hosting as Fast as I Can, Tom wants to tell you in his own words and in his own smiling Hollywood voice why he is so good at what he does and what it took to get there. Despite his calm and pleasant on-air demeanor, Tom says he used to have an explosive temper that threatened his job and marriage. Through yoga and good humor, he got it under control. Perhaps there's a life lesson in here for you....
Description
He's one of the most ubiquitous men on television. Certainly the most calm, cool, and collected...the king of "off the cuff". And no one throws to a commercial better. Yes, Tom Bergeron is a Hollywood staple, and the role for which he is best known is...well...himself.
But while he's a comforting presence to millions of people, cultivating this seemingly unshakeable positive outlook and cool persona took as much motivation, inspiration, perseverance, and experience as it would take one to prepare a classic part for the stage. I'm Hosting as Fast as I Can! is the trying, often laugh-out-loud journey it took to get to himself.
Tom got into the world of entertainment by way of local radio at age 17, hosting what his first boss told him was and should have been a "no-personality station". He said, "Tommy, just play the records and read the commercials". But the sit-down-and-shut-up attitude belied Tom's natural inclination to inject personality and a little pluck into his broadcasts. So Tom sought other performance opportunities on radio, in improvisational theater, and even as a mime (yes, a mime), which would help him hone the expressiveness that seems to come so naturally to his presentation. His determination would result in a high-profile hosting gig on the iconic game show Hollywood Squares and guest-hosting appearances on ABC's Good Morning America and CBS' Early Show.

But as is sometimes the case with enthusiastic dynamos like Tom, he had an explosive temper that he admits had the potential to derail his dreams of being not only a successful broadcaster but also a successful husband, father, and friend. How to cope? "I meditated my temper into submission," says Tom with his trademark sense of humor. In I'm Hosting as Fast as I Can!, Tom elaborates on the process by which he is able to sit calmly and patiently, without being distracted, at any time, no matter how hectic, as well as respond quickly (and hilariously) when Marie Osmond faints at his feet on live TV.
