Born on November 30, 1975, in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, Richard Paul Bacon began his media career at a young age, first as a reporter for BBC Radio Nottingham. He later moved to L!VE TV in February 1996 as a reporter before gaining wider recognition as a presenter on the children’s show Blue Peter, which he joined on February 21, 1997. His tenure on Blue Peter ended in October 1998, but his television career continued with roles on shows like The Big Breakfast and Top of the Pops. Bacon’s versatile career has also included narrating the BBC Three series Most Annoying People from 2006 to 2011 and hosting various programs for ITV, Channel 5, and BBC Two.
Bacon transitioned significantly in his career by moving to the United States. In 2016, he became the presenter of the National Geographic Channel’s reboot of the documentary series Explorer, notably hiking through Yosemite National Park with President Barack Obama on his debut. He also hosted the daily newsmagazine show Top 30 for Fox affiliates and in 2019, ABC commissioned his original game show format The Hustler, with Bacon serving as an executive producer.
In 2023, Bacon founded Yes Yes Media, an unscripted entertainment venture with offices in London and Los Angeles. The company quickly gained significant backing from investors including Courteney Cox, Sister (Elisabeth Murdoch’s creative powerhouse), and Satisfaction. Yes Yes Media focuses on developing and producing innovative TV and tech entertainment, with its first commission, the game show “Silence is Golden,” set to air on UKTV in 2025. The company also developed proprietary technology called WOMI, a device for reality filmmaking that captures multiple camera angles and on-screen activity, showcasing Bacon’s focus on integrating technology with entertainment.
