Randy is a native of Vienna, Virginia.

Career

Scott was a stand-up comedian for a short period of time: "I tried my hand at standup comedy when I was living in Tampa, Fla. The high-water mark came in my second night on stage at the Improv in Ybor City. I won a newcomer contest, $100 for five minutes, and told my wife I thought maybe I could do that for a career. She informed me I was, in fact, incorrect." Scott was hired by ESPN in June 2012. He currently anchors morning SportsCenter.
