Mark Lewis Walberg (born August 31, 1962 in Florence, South Carolina) is a Jewish-American actor, television personality and comedian. He is perhaps best known from the PBS version of "Antiques Roadshow" and from hosting "The Moment of Truth" on FOX.

Biography

Before his time on PBS's "Antiques Roadshow", Walberg hosted the game show on GSN known as "Russian Roulette". Walberg married wife Robbi Morgan Walberg in 1987.

Career

Previous to the "Roadshow" he was the host of game shows: "Temptation Island", "Free 4 All", "The Big Date", "Russian Roulette" (where he was introduced as Mark "L." Walberg), and "On The Cover", as well as a short lived, self-titled talk show ("Mark Walberg") that aired for one season from 1995-1996 [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1075770/ "The Mark Walberg Show" (1995) ] ] .

Before hosting game shows, Walberg's first television exposure was as announcer and sidekick to Pat Finn on the long-running TV series "Shop 'Til You Drop" from 1991 to 1994. He is hosting the new game show, "The Moment of Truth" on the FOX network in which contestants are asked a series of 21 increasingly personal and embarrassing questions for a huge jackpot.

Mark Walberg is on the board of directors of Goodwill of Southern California and the board of managers of the Hollywood/Wilshire YMCA. Mark plays on the World Poker Tour in the Hollywood Home Games for the Goodwill Industries of Southern California.

He was slated to host a game show adaptation of the popular board game beginning in fall 2008, but was unable to get out of his Fox contract and was replaced by Christopher Knight.
