English: Hugh Malcolm Downs (February 14, 1921 – July 1, 2020) was an American radio and television broadcaster, announcer and programmer, television host, news anchor, TV producer, author, game show host, and music composer. Downs started his career in radio in 1939, began in live television in 1945 in Chicago, and moved to New York City in 1954. A regular television presence from the mid-1940s until the late 1990s, Downs served as announcer and sidekick for Tonight Starring Jack Paar from 1957 to 1962, co-host of the NBC News program Today from 1962 to 1971, host of the Concentration from 1958 to 1969, and anchor of the ABC News magazine 20/20 from 1978 to 1999. For several years he held the certified Guiness World Record for the most hours on commercial network television (before being surpassed by Regis Philbin).
