Stuart Scott


Stuart Scott (born July 19 1965 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American sportscaster for ESPN, most visibly as an anchor on SportsCenter. Scott attended University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) where he was a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, the first intercollegiate fraternity established for African Americans. Scott graduated from UNC in 1987 with a bachelor of arts in speech communications. Following graduation he worked as a reporter at a small South Carolina television station for six years. In 1993, he joined the cast of SportsCenter, and has been there since. Scott lives with his wife Kim and his two daughters in Connecticut.



Style and Popularity

At SportsCenter Scott was part of a duo with Rich Eisen which made both famous. Scott is notable for his lazy eye and on-air "catch phrases," including "Booya!", "Can I get a whoop-whoop?" and "as cool as the other side of the pillow." His use of non-standard English elevated his profile as a sports broadcaster, but also made him the target of criticism. [1] Tim Meadows and Finesse Mitchell parodied him on Saturday Night Live.

In 2003, USA Today held a poll on its website regarding the popularity of SportsCenter anchors. Scott received the most "kick off" votes (users wanting Scott to leave) votes and the second-most "keep" votes (users wanting him to stay). Scott had no problem with the results, saying, "If you stand out, you'll elicit strong opinions...." [2].



Injury

Stuart Scott was injured on April 3, 2002, at the New York Jets training camp while reporting for ESPN when a football hit him in the left eye, requiring him to undergo corneasurgery. [3]



Television Shows

Beside SportsCenter, Scott has been the host of a number of television shows. He recently hosted the ESPN series Dream Job, the network's talent search for a new SportsCenter anchor. It was on this show that Scott introduced the now common phrase "hugs and handpounds" to American television audiences. He is the current host of Monday Night Countdown and once co-anchored NFL Primetime with Chris Berman and former NFL linebacker Tom Jackson. His stint on NFL Primetime was noteworthy for the fact that Scott would anchor highlights of the less glamorous matchups of the week. Berman would often dub these lackluster games "Stu Games." Scott also hosts the ESPN show Stump the Schwab, in which contestants try to stump ESPN statistician Howie Schwab in various categories pertaining to sports. As host of Stump The Schwab, Scott has become one of the most successful African American game show hosts in history, thanks to the show's three year run to date. He also hosted the ABC special David Blaine: Drowned Alive.

Scott also broadcast a few New York Knicks games alongside Walt Frazier during the 2005-2006 season.
