"But this year will be even more magical with this A-list group of presenters who share a special connection with our inductees."

The 2019 inductees include Sean "Hollywood" Hamilton, Harry Harrison, Kevin Ryder and Gene "Bean" Baxter (Kevin & Bean), Joe Madison, Jim Rome, Ryan Seacrest, John Tesh and Dr. Ruth Westheimer.
