Michael Parkinson – Parkinson, 86

“The great British talkshow host” were words that The Guardian used to describe this phenomenal individual. We’re talking about Sir Michael Parkinson, who enjoyed a fruitful career between the early ’60s and his retirement in 2013. Beyond being a talk show host, the 86-year-old celeb also tried his hand at acting, producing, and directing.

This English star presented his self-titled show, Parkinson, from 1971 to 2007, although it underwent a 16-year hiatus between 1982 and 1998. In 2021, he made a brief appearance in the TV show titled Kay Burley @Breakfast.
