Always seen in a suit and tie, Chris Harrison hosts ABC's The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. The series is produced by reality TV guru, Mike Fleiss.

Harrison has appeared on each of the show's 18 seasons (13 seasons of The Bachelor and 5 seasons of The Bachelorette, most recently starring Jillian Harris). 

The reality host typically appears on each episode to explain which dates will take place that week (group or one-on-one dates). Also, Harrison attends the final rose ceremony to deliver the famous line:

[Gentleman/Ladies]This is the final rose tonight. When you're ready.

Born July 26, 1971, Harrison began his TV career as a sportscaster in his college town, Oklahoma City. A Dallas, Texas native, Harrison is married Gwen and the two have a son, Joshua and daughter, Taylor.
