There are successful rock ‘n roll dee-jays in radio. There are artist managers who take unknown personalities and make them big stars. There are concert promoters like Live Nation and AEG. There are television game show personalities. There are people who have won multiple Emmy Awards, and there are people who have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But only one person in the entire entertainment industry has done it all - Bob Eubanks. Bob was one of the top rock ‘n roll dee-jays in Los Angeles at KRLA for seven years. In 1972, he entered the world of country music. For ten years he was the exclusive promoter for country star Merle Haggard. During that time he also managed and crafted the careers of Dolly Parton, Barbara Mandrell, and Marty Robbins. Eubanks is one of the only living people to have promoted a Beatles concert all three years they toured America. He currently presents a show nationwide entitled Backstage With the Beatles, telling the unique stories only Bob can tell about his Beatle experiences. After the historic Beatles concerts at the Hollywood Bowl and Dodger Stadium, Bob began a 20-year concert promotion career that made him one of the most successful concert promoters in America. In addition to the Beatles, he produced some of the biggest concerts ever, including such legendary artists as The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. Bob was one of the top television producers, having produced network and syndicated game shows and variety shows. He has hosted some of television’s most successful daytime programs, such as The Newlywed Game and Card Sharks. He is the only game show personality to host the same format with original programming for five decades. TV Guide named him one of the Top Five Game Show Hosts of all time. He’s won nine Emmy awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award and the industry’s Golden Mic Award. Bob became the last person to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the twentieth century. He’s definitely one of a kind!
