The group Wilson Phillips was born and by 1990 they had a smash hit in the song "Hold On, according to Today.

In 2009, Wilson took her talents to the game show genre and hosted a remake of "The Newlywed Game" on The Game Show Network for one year. When she landed the gig, Wilson was thrilled.
"I've always loved game shows. My personality and energy is perfect for something like this," Wilson said, according to The Daily News.
