Scott is a veteran journalist in both print and broadcast mediums.  His background includes local, national and international assignments.  In 2004 and 2006 Scott spent Christmas in Iraq with soldiers from the New York area.  Additionally, his professional career has taken him from the front lines of Cambodia and the Middle East, to the highways of America’s South, where he covered civil rights protests with Dr. Martin Luther King.  He has reported on every presidential nominating convention since 1976 and briefly covered the Jimmy Carter White House.  He has interviewed six American Presidents. 

Scott’s coverage of the Congressional Whitewater hearings won him an Emmy for “Outstanding Political Reporting.” It was “Outstanding Entertainment Programming” that won Scott an Emmy in 2006 for his enlightening interview with the King of Comedy, Jerry Lewis. In addition to the seven Emmys,  Scott has received more than 30 Emmy nominations.  During his travels to Israel, Lebanon, and Egypt, Scott’s reporting provided insight into the Middle East conflict.  He has interviewed many leaders of the region, including Golda Meir, Yitzhak Rabin, and Yasser Arafat.

A graduate of New York University, Scott has received many honors, including a citation in the Congressional Record for his “responsible reporting” of urban riots. The Associated Press gave him top honors for his coverage of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant accident, and his reporting of the TWA 800 tragedy, plus two AP awards for his interviews on “11 News Close-up.” The New Jersey Working Press Association presented him “The Terry Anderson Award for Professionalism in Journalism,”(named for the journalist held hostage in Lebanon). A native of the Bronx, Scott has been installed in the “Bronx Walk of Fame,” and is a recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.  He’s been inducted into the coveted “Silver Circle” of the Television Academy of Arts and Sciences.
