Fred Travalena

Fred Travalena

Fred Travalena is an American entertainer, specializing in comedy and impersonations. He was born on October 6, 1942 in The Bronx, New York, and raised on Long Island, eventually moving to Los Angeles and developed a multi-faceted career with his characterizations of visible public figures.

His television credits began in the 1970s, as a regular performer on "The ABC Comedy Hour". He also has several voice credits on cartoons as well as appearances on nationally-broadcast children's programs. Mr. Travelena has also made many guest appearances on game shows and dramatic programs in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. In the mid-1980s he hosted the game show "Anything For Money", a game where contestants attempted to guess how much money it would take an ordinary, unsuspecting person to participate in a silly stunt. He also appeared in the series premiere of the short-lived 1991 sitcom Good Sports with Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett.

He currently appears at casino theaters in Las Vegas, Reno, and Atlantic City as well as performing arts theaters and private “in-concert” performances. He has also done a USO tour to entertain troops overseas, and was honored in 2004 by Club Italia with a Merit Achievement Award for his contributions to society.

In 2005, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
