("What's Up?"), broadcast on Galatz, Israel's IDF Radio, where he started his partnership with Avri Gilad.[citation needed] Tal and Gilad co-hosted TV show Ha'olam Ha'erev (The World Tonight) in the early 1990s, broadcast on the then-experimental Channel 2.[citation needed] When Channel 2 became Israel's first commercial television station, Tal hosted and produced the Israeli edition of Wheel of Fortune, and later devised two different program formats: The Vault that was sold to several foreign TV stations, and The Brain.[citation needed]
In 2008, he hosted the Israeli version of the reality show, Big Brother, named HaAh HaGadol.[1]
Tal also participates in comedy programs: Only in Israel, which he created,[2] opposite Orna Banai, and Night Club with Maya Dagan and others.[citation needed] He introduced several comedians to wider audiences, notably Assi Azar who co-hosted with him the successful reality format HaAch HaGadol; and Guri Alfi who acted in many comedy shows such as Shiduray Ha'mahapecha (The Revolution Broadcast).[citation needed]
Tal was one of the Israeli commentators (alongside Idit Hershkowitz) for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 grand final, the first time the country provided a TV commentary for Eurovision.[citation needed]
Tal hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv alongside Bar Refaeli, Assi Azar and Lucy Ayoub.[3][4]
