Scott Reiss is an Emmy Award-winning sports broadcaster who has spent the last quarter-century living the TV dream, while honing his craft at the local, regional, and national levels of television.Scott's journey began at Beverly Hills High School, where he stumbled upon a broadcast journalism class during his senior year. He became the sports anchor on a class-produced weekly news broadcast that aired on local cable access TV, and he was hooked.Scott later graduated with honors from Stanford University, having earned a bachelor's degree in communication and a master's degree in sociology. After a year of job hunting and soul searching, he moved 2,200 miles east to begin his TV career in Panama City, Florida. That career path led him through Utica, New York and Santa Maria, California before his big break at age 29, when he was hired as an anchor at ESPN.During his eight years in Bristol, Scott hosted pretty much every show on the network, including SportsCenter, Baseball Tonight, NFL Live, and College Gamenight. He also hosted ESPN Radio's College Gameday, which taught him that if you can execute seven straight hours of live radio on a college football Saturday, you can handle pretty much anything in the broadcasting world.The ESPN experience was as educational as it was humbling, as it allowed Scott to learn from the best TV professionals in the business-both in front of and behind the camera. It also put him in position to make another dream come true, returning home to California to work in major-market television.In 2008, Scott was hired as the lead anchor for the Comcast SportsNet Bay Area startup in San Francisco. The timing couldn't have been better, as he was tasked with hosting pregame and postgame shows for the Giants as they won three World Series in five years. Some of his greatest professional memories stem from those shows, both in San Francisco and in the various American League cities.After five years at CSN, Scott was offered still another dream opportunity: to become the radio play-by-play voice of his alma mater. He has been calling Stanford football and basketball games since 2013, while spending much of that time also working as a sports anchor/reporter at KTVU, the FOX affiliate in the Bay Area.Scott currently lives in Walnut Creek, California, with his beautiful wife, Jennifer, and their two wonderful boys, Lucas and Cody.
