Walberg?"},"content":{"rendered":"

There’s a lot of chaos happening on Temptation Island<\/a>, so it’s a slight breath of fresh air when the ever charming host Mark L. Walberg makes an appearance, but who actually is he?<\/p>\n

He’s been hosting the show since it first aired in 2001<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Via Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Prior to Netflix buying the rights to the show, Temptation Island actually first started airing in 2001, and Mark was still hosting it all the way back then.<\/p>\n

He told Tudum<\/a>: “I take this very seriously. It\u2019s real for me, and I don\u2019t know how to detach or phone it in. Having done it for years and years now, I can tell you that the people who come on [Temptation Island] really do get answers to their questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the hardest part of presenting the show, he revealed: “The challenges are having to watch people in pain, seeing people\u2019s perception of their relationships go down in flames, and then trying to be there for them in the right way. The upside is when you see somebody who had all this guilt and all these bad feelings about themselves make a shift.”<\/p>\n

He also hosted The Antiques Roadshow<\/h2>\n
