Evan Davis hosted the British TV series Dragons' Den from its launch in 2005.
Davis is a British journalist and broadcaster who became the programme's presenter rather than one of its investors. His role included introducing the entrepreneurs, explaining the stakes of each pitch and guiding viewers through the negotiations in the den.
A common mix-up is to identify a dragon as the host. The dragons are the investors seated in the studio, while Davis traditionally appears as the presenter and narrator of the business-pitching process. He was already well known for BBC journalism before taking on the programme.
Davis also presented BBC current-affairs and business programmes, including Newsnight and The Bottom Line. His association with Dragons' Den lasted for many years, making him one of the programme's most recognisable non-investor figures.
