TV's 'Scud Stud' Enters Politics

January 3, 2008 RSS Feed Print

Way back in 1991, NBC's Arthur Kent, in all his TV good looks, won the title "Scud Stud" for his missile-dodging Gulf War reporting. Now he's back in the news, only this time he's the one firing the shots. Kent tells us that he's running for a seat in the Alberta, Canada, legislative assembly, representing part of Calgary. "I enjoyed being a reporter," says Kent, "but I always wondered what I would do if I was at the table." He may soon know. He has been picked as the district's Progressive Conservative candidate. "I'm very much a centrist," he says. Being the Scud Stud helps. "It's a wonderful thing to be recognized in your own hometown."
