Trivia

Gene Scott

  • Holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University.
  • TV Bible teacher (he hates the term "televangeist"). Often incorporates pyramidology and references to Atlantis mixed with his Bible teachings.
  • Is the only person active in a Christian television broadcast ministry to smoke on-screen (He has a preference for cigars).
  • Has stated on the air that a childhood bout with Smallpox left him sterile.
  • Would often stop in the middle of a "lesson" and declare, "I'm not sayin' another word until I get some money comin' in here", and proceed to sit in his chair and silently stare at the camera for however long it took until viewers started calling in with donations. When he received what he decided was a sufficient amount of money, he would go back to his "teachings".
  • During one live broadcast, he read a number of messages that were received from callers to his phone bank. One was a request from a woman to tell her husband to stop watching the TV and go to bed. Dr. Scott stared into the camera and said, "Make her beg."
