Kate Scott (43) startete ihre Karriere in Deutschland und ist jetzt ein Megastar – mit Emmy-Nominierung!
Die Sport-Moderatorin, die die Fußball-Fans in Deutschland aus ihren Sky-Zeiten noch unter dem Nachnamen Abdo kennen, leitet für die US-Sender CBS und Paramount die Experten-Runde bei der Champions League.
Mittlerweile ist sie genauso berühmt, wie die Fußball-Stars, über die sie berichtet. Die Videos mit Thierry Henry (47), Jamie Carragher (47) und Micah Richards (36) sind auch bei Spielern selbst der absolute Renner.
Allein in dieser Saison wurden die Social-Media-Clipouts mit Scott weltweit 3,5 Milliarden mal abgerufen. In dieser Woche wurde sie sogar für den Sport-Emmy als beste Moderatorin nominiert.
SPORT BILD stellt sie vor!
Ihre Karriere per Zufall
Ihr erstes Moderations-Casting bei der Deutschen Welle war gar nicht geplant. „Damals wollte ich nicht im Fernsehen auftreten, sondern Übersetzerin werden“, sagt Scott. „Doch als jemand anders absagte, überredeten sie mich zum Casting. Erst lehnte ich ab. Doch dann bekam ich den Job und wurde Nachrichten-Moderatorin.“
Ihr berühmtester Versprecher
Im Mai 2023 leistete sich Scott ihre bekannteste Panne. Das YouTube-Video wurde bereits 5,2 Millionen Mal aufgerufen. Live sagte sie, dass man bei „Fox Sports“ sei, einem großen Konkurrenten von CBS. Ihre Expertenrunde brach in lautes Lachen aus.
[–>Ihre Sprachkenntnisse
Scott beherrscht vier Sprachen: Englisch, Spanisch, Französisch, Deutsch. Während ihres Studiums an der Universität von Salford machte sie ein Auslandssemester in München, wohnte bei einer Gastfamilie und arbeitete in einem Café. Beim Deutsch sei sie inzwischen etwas aus der Übung, lernte es bei ihrer Zeit in Deutschland: „Ich habe je vier Jahre in Berlin und München gelebt, fühlte mich superwohl.“
Fans lieben das lockere und fröhliche Auftreten der Britin

Ihre wechselnden Nachnamen
Mit Mädchennamen heißt sie Giles und wurde in Manchester geboren. Von 2010 bis 2016 war sie mit dem deutsch-iranischen Geschäftsmann Ramtin Abdo verheiratet und behielt den Nachnamen bis September 2024. Da heiratete sie den Amerikaner Malik Scott (44). Dieser war ihr Box-Trainer, kämpfte früher im Schwergewicht.

Ihre Fanscharen
Scott hat 840.000 Instagram-Follower. Der YouTube-Kanal von @cbssportsgolazo kommt sogar auf 2,36 Millionen. Neben den Highlight-Videos ihrer Champions-League-Runde gibt es auch das Format „Kickin‘ It“, in dem sie Legenden wie Jürgen Klinsmann oder Dirk Nowitzki interviewt.
Ihre Karriere begann in Deutschland
2005 startete sie als Praktikantin bei der Deutschen Welle, führte bis 2009 durch verschiedene Sendungen. Nach einer Zwischenstation bei CNN gehörte sie zur Gründungs-Crew des TV-Senders Sky Sport News HD in Deutschland. Von dort wechselte sie zu Sky in Großbritannien und in die USA zu Fox. Schließlich landete sie bei DAZN und CBS.

Ihre Fußball-Liebe
Scott ist ein Fan von Manchester United. Zu den „Red Devils“ kam sie durch ihren Vater Tom, der 2023 mit 77 Jahren verstorben ist: „Meine Mutter hält zu Liverpool, aber mein Vater bestimmte bei uns daheim, wo es in Sachen Fußball langging. Er hatte eine Dauerkarte bei Manchester United. Als ich in den 90ern aufwuchs, war es eine großartige, erfolgreiche Zeit für den Klub.“
Die Hilfe von Marcel Reif
Die Kommentatoren-Legende und Experte im BILD-Format „Reif ist live“ leitete 2011 eine Mail von ihr weiter. Scott hatte ihn kontaktiert. „Auf meine Mail schrieb Marcel: ,Schick mir deine Sachen. Ich kenne dich nicht und ich verspreche dir nichts. Aber wenn ich es gut finde, leite ich es weiter. Wenn nicht, dann nicht.‘ Irgendwann meldete sich dann der damalige Sky-Sportchef Carsten Schmidt“, berichtet Scott. Bald darauf wurde sie das Gesicht von Sky Sport News HD.

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke
When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]
Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match
Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride. To describe this as a David vs. Goliath-type game would be a misnomer, though, Gotham have been inconsistent, but they won the Championship just two years ago and boast an MVP nominee in Esther Gonzalez.While Gonzalez and new Gotham recruict Jaedyn Shaw headline Juan Carlos Amoros' team, the attention will also […]
Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs
The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]
Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’
The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
