Scott Romine
Host of Gwatney Unplugged
Scott Romine is a recent survivor (2018-2019) of both Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and a very rare and often lethal side effect of treatment called HLH-94. Scott is a local Arkansas celebrity who, while a Police Officer, created a CBS morning segment called “Operation Safe Speed”. The program continues to this day in its 19th year and was emulated in various CBS markets.
Scott appears weekly on the local FOX TV affiliate and hosts a weekly statewide radio talk show on KARN 102.9fm. Cancer topics and charities are often discussed on the show.
In a strange twist of fate in late 2018 - Scott appeared on a local ABC morning television show to present a $20,000 donation to the Arkansas Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and American Cancer Society. Scott had cancelled a doctor’s appointment to appear on the show that morning - an appointment that would have diagnosed him with Lymphoma. Scott had no idea he was actually suffering from the disease he was on television supporting.
Scott used his diagnosis in a positive way throughout treatment. During his initial treatment,
he was one of four nominees for the Arkansas Leukemia & Lymphoma Society “Man of the
Year”. He spoke at the event - and a video of his speech found an audience on Facebook with
approximately 5,000 views! https://www.facebook.com/scott.romine.94/videos/vb. 1066765905/10217267069443229/?type=3
Scott went on to speak at National Cancer Survivors Day and Arkansas Rotary meetings after claiming Runner Up as “Man of the Year”. After his 6th chemo treatment - his immune system was sent into attacking his healthy organs (HLH-94) - which prompted five rounds of a chemo called Etopicide. After two months in the hospital, Scott recovered and is in remission today.
Scott was the Master of Ceremonies for the 2019 “Light the Night” walk for the Arkansas Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - held at War Memorial Stadium just yards from the hospital that saved his life earlier this summer. The event raised $200,000 - and Scott has been selection as Chairperson of the event in 2020.
Bob Grissom of Gwatney Automotive Group is also a consulting producer of Gwatney Unplugged.
Scott Romine has hosted 101 Episodes.
