Gideon "Gidi" Gov (Hebrew: גידי גוב; 4 August 1950) is an Israeli singer, TV host, entertainer, and actor.
Gov's father died when he was young, and he moved frequently as a child, including living in Tel Aviv and Eilat.
During the same year Gov established along with some of the former Nahal troupe members (Efraim Shamir, Danny Sanderson and Alon Olearchik) and two others (Yoni Rechter and Yitzhak Klepter) the band Kaveret.
After the breakup of Kaveret Gov joined the short-lived band "Parnasa Tova", which included Yehudit Ravitz and Shmulik Bilu.
In 1985 Gov released his third solo album, "Tnu Ligdol Besheket" ("Let Me Grow Up in Peace"), which included mostly children's songs.
In 1987 Gov decided to release the rock oriented album "Derech Eretz" (דרך ארץ), produced by Louie Lahav.
Subsequently, in 1995 Gov released the double disc compilation album "שירים מלילה גוב", and in 1997 released the triple disc compilation album "שירים מלילה גוב 2" which both contained the songs Gov performed during the show with his guests.
In 2000 Gov began hosting a dining TV show on the Israeli Channel 8 called "Gidi Gov goes to eat" (גידי גוב הולך לאכול) and appeared in a one time special Kaveret reunion concert designed to raise money for an urgent surgery of the band member Isaac Klepter.
In 2008 Gov participated in satire show "גם להם מגיע " together with Lior Ashkenazi and Anat Magen.
In 2009 the Israeli label Hed Artzi released the triple disc compilation album "שלל שיריו" which contained Gov's biggest hits through the years.
A month later Channel 2 started broadcasting the series "The most beautiful years", in which Gov plays a school principal who dies.
In 2024, it was announced Gov would reunited Yoni Rechter, David Broza and Yehudit Ravitz for "The 16th Sheep" reunion concerts in Israel.
