Encyclopedia > Bruce Forsythe

Bruce Forsyth (born February 22, 1928) (real name Bruce Forsythe_Johnson) is a British entertainer and showman who achieved celebrity on the show "Sunday Night at the London Palladium", and has since presented game shows such as "The Price is Right", "Play Your Cards Right", "The Generation Game" and "You Bet".
