After serving in World War II, including performing in the Canadian Band of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force under the direction of Robert Farnon, he returned to Toronto to study broadcasting at Lorne Greene Academy of Radio Arts. His early radio career included Ottawa station CFRA since late 1946. In the early 1950s, Davis moved to television, as one of the hosts of the 1953-1954 documentary series On the Spot. He began hosting the news-themed television quiz show Front Page Challenge in 1957, replacing host Alex Barris with whom the series began that summer. He remained host until the series was cancelled in 1995. He hosted commercials and other series during his career, although his primary work remained with Front Page Challenge. (en)
