This article is about the TV game show host. For other persons with the same name, see Thomas Kennedy.

Tom Kennedy (born James Narz February 26, 1927, in Louisville, Kentucky) is a television game show host who had his greatest fame in the 1960s and 1970s. He is the brother of game show host Jack Narz, and changed his name to avoid confusion prior to hosting his first national show, The Big Game, in 1958.

His biggest hit series were You Don't Say!, which aired on NBC from 1963 to 1969 and on ABC in 1975; Split Second, on ABC from 1972 to 1975; Name That Tune, which he hosted from 1974 to 1981; and Password Plus, which he hosted from 1980 to 1982 following the retirement of original host Allen Ludden due to illness. Other hosting credits include Doctor I.Q., Break the Bank, To Say the Least, Body Language, Split Second, Whew!, Wordplay and a syndicated nighttime version of The Price is Right in 1985.

He also briefly hosted a talk show in the late 1970s.

Now retired, Kennedy recently appeared as a panelist on Hollywood Squares during "Game Show Week Part 2" in 2003.
