Bob Eubanks (born January 8, 1938, in Flint, Michigan) is an American radio and television personality. He is best known for hosting the long-running game show The Newlywed Game on and off from 1966 to 1999. He also hosted other shorter-lived game shows such as Dream House (1983-1984), Trivia Trap (1984-1985), as well as the popular Card Sharks (1986-1989). In recent years he has hosted or co-hosted all five of NBC's Most Outrageous Game Show Moments specials.

Eubanks also appeared in the 1989 Michael Moore documentary Roger & Me hosting The New Newlywed Game at the Genesee County Fair. In the film, he infamously cracks an offensive joke: "Why don't Jewish women get AIDS? Because they don't fuck assholes; they marry them."

In the mid' 1990s, Eubanks came to Britain and made two series of his American show, Infatuation, for UK cable station, Living TV.

Prior to entering game shows, Eubanks was a popular radio DJ at station KRLA in Los Angeles as well as a music promoter and manager, and he was responsible for bringing The Beatles to Los Angeles for their first west coast performances in 1964, all of which originated from the famed Hollywood Bowl. Eubanks was also involved in numerous rodeos over the years, appearing in some on television as a host or reporter.

His autobiography, It's in the Book, Bob (ISBN 1932100288), was published in 2004.

He has also hosted the Tournament of Roses Parade on Los Angeles television channel KTLA with Stephanie Edwards since 1978.

Bob Eubanks is now an awards emcee, corporate gameshow entertainment host and keynote speaker, sharing his knowledge of how to get the most from people.
