Lyle Waggoner (born April 13 1935 in Kansas City, Kansas) is a tall (6'4" (1.93 m)) American actor best known for his television work in the 1970s.

Waggoner was an announcer and performer on The Carol Burnett Show from 1967 to 1974 and played leading man Steve Trevor in the Wonder Woman television series from 1976 to 1979. He was the first centerfold for Playgirl (albeit no frontal nudity) in June 1973. Prior to joining Carol Burnett, Waggoner was a finalist for the title role in the TV series version of Batman, but had lost the role to comic book buff and veteran actor Adam West. He has appeared on a few, but not all, of the Burnett Show reunions on television. Waggoner left the Burnett show, feeling his contribution was undervalued and in hopes of pursuing a starring career. His spot on the show was filled by frequent guest star Tim Conway. Waggoner appeared in several TV movies and minor motion pictures during the 1970s and 1980s, often cast for "hunk" appeal, and has made guest appearances on numerous television series including Charlie's Angels, Mork and Mindy, The Love Boat, Golden Girls, Ellen, and The War at Home. Early in his career, in 1967, he appeared in Catalina Caper (with Tommy Kirk, a former child actor trying to restart his career as a young adult), a film which would eventually be lampooned by Mystery Science Theater 3000.

In 1979, Waggoner founded Star Waggons, a company that leases customized trailers for use by the entertainment industry; it is the largest such supplier and brings in USD $20,000,000 annually.

In 1990, Waggoner co produced and appeared in consumer product show called Consumer America with co host Shawn Bruner. The show featured novel national products from self-help to home goods. The show lasted approximately two seasons.

Waggoner retired from full-time acting to run the company, but still makes occasional appearances, often parodying his earlier image (The Naked Truth, That 70s Show, Return to the Batcave). In 1993, Waggoner was also the host of an infomercial, "Let's Talk With Lyle Waggoner", which advertised "Y-bron", supposedly a natural product that would cure male impotence.

He has been married to his only wife Sharon Kennedy, an actress as well as a financial consultant and realtor, for over 40 years, and they have two sons.

This 60s and 70s TV heartthrob was the proverbial tall, dark and classically handsome actor. Completing the solid package was a great, muscular build, smooth charm, a perfect set of teeth and a marvelously resonant voice. Born in 1935 in Kansas City, Kansas, and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Lyle Waggoner certainly paid his dues before being handed his breakthrough as the suave announcer on "Carol Burnett Show, The" (1967) in the late 60s. The one-time peddler of encyclopedias door-to-door, prior to his prime TV job, appeared in poorly-made sci-fi and beach party flicks with such dubious titles as Women of the Prehistoric Planet (1966), Swamp Country (1966), Journey to the Center of Time (1967) and Catalina Caper (1967). In time, Burnett discovered more than just a gorgeous hunk who gave a good voice and began to incorporate Waggoner into the show as a comedy sketch partner along with the other regulars Vicki Lawrence and Harvey Korman. A game, good-natured ensemble player who showed fine comedy instincts, he prove quite sound as a dreamy, straight-man foil to the ogling Burnett. His better scenes typically had him essaying the superficial cad or gleamy-toothed, self-important star. After seven seasons on the knockabout variety show, however, Waggoner felt like a "third banana" and yearned to take a chance on solo stardom. During his off times, he had prepared himself by appearing in summer stock and/or dinner theater in such breezy assignments as "Boeing, Boeing", "Send Me No Flowers" and "Once More, with Feeling". He also hosted a syndicated quiz show entitled "It's Your Bet" (1969) and earned added "exposure" as Playgirl Magazine's first semi-nude centerfold in 1973. Not long after his departure from the Burnett show, he landed the role of Major Steve Trevor on the popular comic strip-based series "Wonder Woman" (1976) playing the dashing, no-nonsense boss to Lynda Carter. Again, the challenge was not there and he remained on the periphery while Carter amply displayed her superhuman talents for three seasons. In later years, Waggoner became more personality than performer and only sporadically appeared in glossy mini-movies and TV episodes, and even less so in feature films (Love Me Deadly (1973), Surf II (1984) and Wizards of the Demon Sword (1991) to name a few). None of his roles carried much weight. Perhaps surmising that he was undone by being too perfect a specimen, he wisely looked into business ventures and, in 1979, successfully started up "Star Waggons" which served film/TV companies with rental trailers. His charming, vainglorious romancer act has obviously been for the cameras only. The former Hollywood ladies' man has been married only once, to wife Sharon Kennedy, an actress as well as a financial consultant and Realtor. The couple have been wed for well over 40 years and have two sons. Still good-looking and fit at age 70+, he enjoys homes in both California and Wyoming.
