Chairman and CEO of the flourishing Somers companies Port Carling Corporation and ELO, Somers Licensing Company, he unabashedly refers to his business as his loving mistress, with approval from Suzanne Somers, his life partner of 50 years – an anomaly by Hollywood standards. He met Suzanne, then a struggling young actress, on the set of his show "The Anniversary Game" when she was hired as the prize model; they've been together ever since that day.

Alan's more than 3,000 hours on Canadian network television began at the CBC Network in 1955 and ended 25 years later with "The Alan Hamel Show" on the CTV Network in 1980.

He was a CBC commentator in The Royal Tour, The Tokyo & Mexico Olympics and starred in two ABC shows, Wedding Partyand The Anniversary Gameand his own talk show on CTV, The Alan Hamel Show, from 1975 – 1980. He also starred in CBC's Nightcap, a widely respected, out-of-control, late-night hour of edgy satire that was the inspiration for Saturday Night Live.

In 1967, Hamel moved to Los Angeles and produced and starred in You Can't Do That On Televisionon ABC, a 90-minute, cutting-edge, politically incorrect satirical show that created both raves and outrage. This was the very first satirical comedy show in the U.S.

In the '70s, Alan and Dick Clark became partners and created two television series, Mantrapand The Sensuous Man. Mantrapplayed on CTV and was financed by barter/cash advertisers, a unique business model they created that has been duplicated many times since.

Since the 1980s, Alan has managed all the Suzanne Somers companies that have developed, manufactured and marketed an extensive line of more than 1,000 products, branded food, cook's tools, small kitchen appliances, beauty, fashion, jewelry and fitness products. The most famous, the ThighMaster, continues to be one of the best-selling fitness products in history, passing the 10 million mark a decade ago. The new Thighmaster Vibrato will be introduced in 2018.

Hamel is an active partner in LifeWave Technology & Medical Energetics, an Irish company.

Both companies produce patented products to improve lives.

Hamel's primary business interests today are in the health and beauty categories that include lines of skin care, hair care and cosmetics, all of which are organic and certified toxin-free. He also has turned his expertise to electronic shopping on QVC & The Shopping Channel and created a network of physicians, www.foreverhealth.com, which brings qualified specialists in anti-aging and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy together with patients seeking alternative and integrative medicine.

In keeping with promoting peak health, cutting-edge medicine, and addressing beauty themes, Alan recently produced The SUZANNE Show, a series of one-hour specials on the Lifetime network that won Suzanne an Emmy nomination; Suzanne Somers' Breaking Throughseries on Cafe Mom Studios YouTube channel; and Suzanne Speakson Suzanne's dedicated YouTube channel. He also brought one of Suzanne's most popular talks on aging and wellness to a national cinema audience with the "Suzanne Somers' BREAKTHROUGH Tour."

Hamel obviously loves to dream up unique ideas and then take them to market. He has said that working is a privilege and for him it is "the juice of life." "I will work forever. It's like a constant dopamine hit! I love my work!"

Alan and Suzanne are practitioners of modern alternative health care, grow their own organic food and are avid hikers in the San Jacinto Mountains. They are together 24/7 and have not spent a night apart in over 37 years.
