Kevin Harrington

Kevin Harrington (born October 15, 1956) is an American businessman who is best known for his appearances on the television series Shark Tank.

Career In 1985, he created his first infomercial after identifying an opportunity to utilize the late-night and early-morning dead air time on cable networks.

In 2007, he became the chief executive officer and ResponzeTV Plc's executive director of ResponzeTV Plc, leaving both positions in 2008. He left in 2011 after two seasons on the show. In 2010, Harrington became a Member of the advisory board at AbsolutelyNew, Inc. and the chairman and Senior Executive Officer of H & H Imports Inc. Kevin Harrington became the company spokesperson for InventHelp in April 2013.

In 2022, he joined the reality TV show Funding Faceoff, where real estate investors pitched a panel of deal makers for potential funding in a Shark Tank format. The show, consisting of 13 episodes, initially aired on multiple networks, including Roku, Amazon, and Samsung TV, but was later put on hold in 2023.
