Career
Davidson appeared as captain of The Young and the Restless team when they played for charity on Family Feud in the early 1990s. That appearance led to him hosting a five-night-a-week, syndicated, half-hour version of the game show The New Price Is Right, beginning on September 12, 1994. The show was canceled just four and a half months later on January 27, 1995. Davidson was one of a few people given an audition to replace Bob Barker after his retirement from The Price Is Right in June 15, 2007, a role which ultimately went to Drew Carey. Davidson has also hosted the live stage show adaptation, The Price Is Right Live!, at Harrah's-owned casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada.
From 1998 through 2003, Davidson served as a host of the annual Tournament of Roses Parade.
Personal life
He has been married to actress Cindy Fisher since 1984. They have two children, daughter Calyssa and son Caden.
