Stu Nahan Bio
A television veteran since the 1950's, Stu Nahan is best remembered for his role as a boxing commentator in all of the Rocky films as well as being a longtime sportscaster in the Los Angeles market.
Nahan originally began working as the KCRA sportscaster in Sacramento. He established himself in this role after telling Bob Kelly, the Station Manager and owner at the time, that KCRA needed a sportscaster. When Bob asked Stu who he thought they should hire, Stu promptly said, "Me"... and they did.
He soon added to his responsibilities a children's show where he was known as Skipper Stu. He got that job based on having 4 children of his own at home. Stu was quoted as saying, "if I talk to the kids (on his show) the way I talk at home, we might lose our license."
In the mid-to-Iate 1970's, Nahan began working in the movie industry. He always played a sports personality... actually, he always played himself. Aside from the Rocky films, Nahan is also remembered for a small but often referred to role in the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High when he interviews the character Jeff Spicolli in a dream sequence. The quote that most remember is Sean Penn saying to Stu, "Hey dude, nice jacket."
Nahan worked in the Los Angeles television market at KABC, KNBC and KTLA from 1986 until 2003 and spent time with radio stations KABC and KFWB. He was also involved with the Los Angeles Dodger's pregame shows.
Stu and his wife, Sandy, are presently enjoying his children, Kathy, Mickey and Casey... his grandchildren, Dina, Sarah, Stefanie, Mark and Joshua and his great grandchildren, Maddy, Tory, James, Peter, Cole, Phoebe and Gavin. Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Meeting of the Board of Directors
