Scott Rogowsky (born December 4, 1984) is an American comedian and television personality. He is best known for his time hosting HQ Trivia, a mobile game show.[1]
Early life
[edit | edit source]Rogowsky was born in Manhattan and raised in Harrison, New York.[2] He graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 2007 with a degree in political science.[3]
Career
[edit | edit source]Beginnings
[edit | edit source]Since 2011, Rogowsky has hosted Running Late with Scott Rogowsky, a live talk show held at various venues around New York City (such as the Gramercy Theater) and Los Angeles. Guests have included comedians, musicians, authors, and actors.[4]
Rogowsky gained notoriety as the creator of several viral videos, including 10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Jew, and Taking Fake Book Covers on the Subway. In 2017, he hosted a "pop-up" talk show, Start T@lkin, which streamed on Go90 for one season.[5]
HQ Trivia
[edit | edit source]In August 2017, Rogowsky began as the primary host of HQ Trivia, an app and trivia game. Following its launch, Rogowsky gained a significant cult following among the game's players.[6][7] Rogowsky's catchphrase, "let's get down to the nitty-gritty," was spoken at least once each episode of HQ Trivia, and is a quote from the song "AC/DC Bag" by Phish.[8][9] In 2019, Rogowsky joined DAZN and began hosting a sports program. A month later, it was confirmed that Scott had stopped hosting HQ Trivia.[10]
Later broadcasting career
[edit | edit source]In March 2019, Rogowsky began co-hosting ChangeUp, a baseball program broadcast on the subscription video streaming network DAZN.[11] A month later, it was confirmed that he had stopped hosting HQ Trivia due to an inability to organize a scheduling agreement around the two shows.[12] ChangeUp was cancelled in July 2020.[13]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Rogowsky hosted a livestreamed comedy show called "IsoLateNight" in which he interviewed other comedians in isolation. He sold some of his collection of vintage shirts to raise money for charities.[3] Rogowsky was selected to host a web-based trivia game for the antacid brand TUMS during the broadcast of Super Bowl LVI. The show took place via the brand's Twitter account as the game was in progress.[14]
Vintage clothing sales
[edit | edit source]Rogowsky started collecting and selling vintage clothing in 2003. He started an Instagram account called Quiz Daddy's Closet in 2019 and sold some items to raise money for charity.[15][16] In January 2022, he opened a physical storefront, also called "Quiz Daddy’s Closet", in Santa Monica, California.[17][18] After Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek died of pancreatic cancer, Rogowsky bought many of Trebek's garments, which he auctioned to raise funds for the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research.[19]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Rogowsky is a Phish fan and Jewish.[20] He is a brother of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity.[21] Rogowsky also enjoys baseball and is a fan of the New York Mets. His favorite player is Tim Teufel.[22]
