Kent Shocknek (born December 2, 1956) is an American television and film personality who branched into acting toward the end of a lengthy career as a television newsman.
Because of the length of his journalism career, the duration of his broadcasts, and breaking news events, by the time of his retirement from news, he is credited with having logged more hours as an anchor than anyone else in Los Angeles.
The city has designated two separate days "Kent Shocknek Day" in his honor.
Before anchoring prime-time newscasts on CBS-TV owned stations CBS2 and KCAL9, Shocknek was Southern California's first and longest-running television news morning news anchor.
Because of his recognizability, he has been sought out to appear in dozens of feature films and television dramas – often as a newscaster or commentator – giving rise to a popular second career that continues currently.
On radio, Shocknek has narrated a daily commentary in Los Angeles, and has hosted a nationally syndicated entertainment program.
TV viewers and magazine readers also recognize him as a reporter and authority on automotive issues.
