John Bartholomew Tucker (born April 9, 1930 in Pennsylvania) is an American radio and television personality, as well as an author.

He was the last "communicator" (host) of the long-running NBC Radio program Monitor; he was on the air when the show signed off for the last time on January 26, 1975. On television, he was seen as the host of the short-lived game show Treasure Isle, which aried on ABC from 1967 to 1968. In the early 1970's, Mr. Tucker hosted a local morning show on WABC-TV, in New York, called "A.M. New York," which served as the genesis for what is now "Good Morning, America." He also was the co-host of the syndicated version of Candid Camera from 1974 to 1975, and again from 1977 to 1978. He has done voice-over work on numerous commercials and other projects over the years, most notably for Owens-Corning and their "Pink Panther" spots advertising their fiberglass insulation.

In 1975, he played a bit part in the movie, "Abduction."

Tucker is known to have written two novels, both based on the television business: "He'd Dead, She's Dead — Details at Eleven" (ISBN ISBN 0517078074), published in [ by [[Random House, and "The Man Who Looked Like Howard Cosell" (ISBN 0312022484), published in 1988 by St. Martin's Press.
