Scott Conroy is the co-creator and executive producer of the Verizon go90 series Embeds—a Michael De Luca production. He recently wrote a limited series entitled, “Trump: It Happened Here,” which was optioned in a competitive situation by Tomorrow Studios. Before moving to Los Angeles to work in TV and film full time, he spent 11 years as a political journalist in Washington and New York. He started his career in journalism at CBS News where he covered the 2008 presidential campaign as an embedded reporter on the Romney and Palin planes. He went on to become a national political reporter at RealClearPolitics where he reported on campaigns and elections around the country and served as a contributor to CBS News’ 2012 election coverage. He was then the senior political reporter for The Huffington Post where he created and directed New Hampshire, a seven-part original documentary series about the first-in-the-nation primary state, as well as ’16 And President, in which he spent a day on the trail alongside nine of the 2016 White House hopefuls. Later in the 2016 cycle, he worked on political coverage for the HBO series, “Vice News Tonight.” Scott is the author of Vote First Or Die (PublicAffairs, 2017)—a vibrant, on-the- ground journey through the past, present, and future of the most eccentric and consequential institutions in American life: the New Hampshire presidential primary. He is also the coauthor of the bestselling book Sarah From Alaska (PublicAffairs, 2009), which chronicles Sarah Palin’s rise from obscurity to political superstardom and subsequent fall from power. A graduate of Georgetown University, he lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Jo Ling Kent, who is an NBC News correspondent covering business, technology, and general news for the TODAY Show, NBC Nightly News, and MSNBC.
