Former NBC5 lizard man Michael Scott: over and out

Colleague Aaron Barnhart of The Kansas City Star reports that former NBC5 anchor Michael Scott abruptly got bounced Friday night as anchor of KCTV5's 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts. Station management would not comment on the reasons behind Scott's dismissal. He had joined the Kansas City station in August 2004.

Scott, 52, became famous while at NBC5 for his near-hysterical reaction to a little lizard that suddenly befriended him during an animal segment in August 2002. Jay Leno replayed it for a national audience on The Tonight Show, and you can relive the memories here. For Aaron's account, go here.
