Kent Brockman Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Kent Brockman (voiced by Harry Shearer) is a fictional character on the TV series The Simpsons. Brockman is a local TV news "personality" for KBBL-TV (Channel 6). He hosts the KBBL weeknight news (Scott Christian is the weekend news anchor and Kent's fill-in) as well as Smartline, a local current affairs show and Eye on Springfield which focuses mostly on Springfield's entertainment news. His character bears a striking resemblance to Los Angeles news anchor Jerry Dunphy.

Brockman has a preteen daughter, and has jealously mentioned his sister, who is also a TV reporter with a national network.

On one notable episode, Brockman won the multi-million-dollar state lottery jackpot. He has remained a news anchor because he is under contract.

In a flashback to the 1960s, we see when he started out in television his name was Kenny Brocklestein.

It is said Brockman was based on Dunphy and fellow L.A. News legend Hal Fishman.
