In 2008, he hosted the Israeli version of the reality show, Big Brother, named HaAh HaGadol.[1]

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]
