  • Robert "Bob" Wesley Hilton (born July 23, 1953 in Lake Charles, Louisiana) is an American television game show personality. Although known mainly for his role as announcer, he has hosted game shows as well, including The Guinness Game, Truth or Consequences and the 1990 revival of Let's Make a Deal for NBC. Hilton has announced several game shows, such as Card Sharks, Child's Play, Trivia Trap, The $25,000 Pyramid, The $100,000 Pyramid, Blockbusters, Double Talk, That's My Line, Win, Lose or Draw and Body Language. His first game show announcing assignment was in 1980 on Tic-Tac-Dough (filling in for regular announcer Jay Stewart), followed by The Joker's Wild and Play the Percentages, after he began a contract with Barry & Enright Productions, that same year. Hilton briefly announced The Price Is Right following the death of its original announcer, Johnny Olson, and was actually offered the job as Olson's successor by Mark Goodson but was unable to accept it on a full-time basis due to a previous engagement (hosting a game show called Bamboozle that eventually went unsold). Also, Hilton was announcing The Newlywed Game as well as splitting duties with Gene Wood on Body Language after Olson's death. Hilton got his start in Louisiana at station KPLC. He traveled around to various stations as news anchor/reporter, such as in Honolulu, Hawaii, KTRK-TV in Houston, WNAC in Boston (The Bob Hilton Show), and KHJ-TV in Los Angeles. He later went on to KOVR in Sacramento, California. Hilton and his wife, author Joni Hilton, have four children: Richie, Brandon, Cassidy and Nicole. Hilton continues to produce and develop shows. Hilton currently produces his wife's radio talk show. He and his wife also created a cleaning products company called Holy Cow that is in national distribution.
