	Bert Parks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bert Parks (December 30, 1914 - February 2, 1992), an American actor, singer, and radio and television announcer and host, is remembered best as the longtime, iconic host (1955-1980) of the annual Miss America Pageant telecast, live from Convention Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
		Born Bert Jacobson in Atlanta, Georgia, Parks showed his entertainment facility as early as age three, when he was said to have entertained his parents with impersonations of film legend Charles Chaplin.
		Parks himself liked to think that folksiness in hand with charm was the key to his success hosting the pageants, and he had that uncommon ability to turn an unexpected pratfall into a great laugh without embarrassing himself or the unfortunate contestant.

		Bert Parks, speaking about his appeal to a local Atlantic City press reporter, said it best: "I'm utterly charming." Parks' eager, folksy appeal and vaudevillian ability to turn unexpected pratfalls into comedy served him well as the host of the Miss America Pageant for a quarter of a century.
		Bert Parks virtually became an American icon as the host of the annual Miss America Pageant from its second telecast in 1955 until 1980, when he was fired by producers seeking a younger image for the show.
		Parks was known for his ability to put contestants at ease and for his talent helping contestants, all amateurs at being on stage, look their best.

		Besides the obvious Bert Parks dismissal and the constant revolving door of hosts, it has sucked ever since chopped the top ten talents to the top five.
		I seem to recall that some years after Parks was fired, the management of the Pageant changed, and for the first Pageant after the new management took command, they brought Bert Parks back to co-emcee with Gary Collins.
		That year, I believe Bert Parks sang "There She Is, Miss America" when the winner was crowned.
