Bruce Joseph Forsyth Johnson, CBE (born 22 February 1928), is an English TV personality. He became known through the series Sunday Night at the London Palladium, going on to present television series such as The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right, The Price Is Right and Strictly Come Dancing. Rumours in the press are rife following the end of the 2010 series of Strictly, that current co-host Tess Daly's husband, Vernon Kay, is the BBC's favourite choice to replace Forsyth as host, but rumours of his dismissal are unfounded.
