Tony Barber - Biography
Anthony Louis "Tony" Barber AM (born 28 March 1940) is an English-born Australian television game show host.
By the end of 1962, Barber was a leading Perth radio announcer as well as the star of a weekly floor show at the Charles Hotel and another twice-weekly event at the Lido Coral Room where he performed impressions of Johnny Mathis and Paul Anka. Before leaving Western Australia for New South Wales he also appeared in a number of plays with the Scarborough players.
In 1980, the Grundy Organization, on the advice of its founder and producer, Reg Grundy, decided to revive the $25,000 Great Temptation format using the original international title, Sale of the Century. Screened nationally on the Nine Network, Barber hosted the show from 1980-91. His hostesses during his time were Victoria Nicholls (1980–82), Delvene Delaney (1982–85) and Alyce Platt (1986–91). Barber left the show in 1991 after being offered a 12-month contract renewal instead of the usual three-year deal; Platt left at the same time. Host Glenn Ridge and co-host Jo Bailey replaced them.
In June 1991 Barber received the Member of the Order of Australia award "In recognition of service to the entertainment industry."
In 1973, Barber won the TV Week Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television.
