Bert Parks (December 30, 1914 – February 2, 1992) was an American actor, singer, and radio and television announcer and host, best known as the longtime host (1955-1979) of the annual Miss America telecast.

Parks was born Bertram Jacobson in Atlanta, Georgia, the son of Hattie (née Spiegel) and Aaron Jacobson, who was a merchant. Parks got his first broadcasting job at age sixteen, for Atlanta's WGST radio. He moved to New York when he was nineteen. He was hired as a singer and straight man on The Eddie Cantor Show before becoming a CBS Radio staff announcer. Parks became the host of Break the Bank, which premiered on radio in 1945 and went on to television from 1948-1957, and Stop the Music on radio in 1948, and on television 1949-1952.

Parks has unique distinction of hosting the oldest TV game show that still exists (on kinescope). The television show is Party Line on NBC (broadcast from NYC NBC flagship station WNBT) which involved viewers calling in to answer questions and win $5 prize. The show was only broadcast from June - August 1947, thus making the surviving episode preserved on kinescope the oldest known game show and one of the oldest surviving television shows that was recorded. Commercial kinescopes did not come out formally until fall of 1947 (as co-sponsored by NBC, DuMont, Kodak), and only some episodes of Kraft Television Theater as also from 1947 (February and June of that year) are known to still exist and pre-date Party Line.
