Evan Davis became the long-term presenter of the British television programme Dragons' Den after Adrian Chiles.
Davis took over hosting duties after the first two series. As presenter, he introduces the programme and helps viewers follow the entrepreneurs' proposals, but he is not one of the investors making offers for equity. The dragons decide whether a pitch merits an investment and on what terms.
Before and alongside his work on the programme, Davis was a prominent BBC journalist and broadcaster. He presented business and economic coverage, including work for BBC Radio 4, which made his ability to clarify financial claims especially useful in the Den.
The distinction between host and dragon matters. Davis is closely associated with the series because of his long tenure, while the panel has changed repeatedly. Adrian Chiles remains the correct answer for the first two series, not for the programme's best-known later run.
