Kent Brockman is a fictional character in the animated television series ''The Simpsons''. He is voiced by Harry Shearer and first appeared in the episode "Krusty Gets Busted". He is a grumpy, self-centered local Springfield news anchor. ==Profile== Kent Brockman hosts the Channel 6 weekday news, as well as ''Smartline'', a local current-affairs program (a parody of the national current-affairs program Nightline), ''Bite Back! With Kent Brockman'' (a parody of ''Fight Back! With David Horowitz''), ''Eye on Springfield'' (a parody of ''Eye on LA''), which focuses mostly on Springfield's entertainment news, the game show ''Springfield Squares'', and has his own personal commentary segment of the Springfield News, "My Two Cents". As seen in a flashback to the 1960s in the episode "Mother Simpson", Brockman was known as Kenny Brockelstein early in his career. Brockman has a daughter, Brittany, who may have been the product of his fling with the Channel 6 weather girl. In "Dog of Death", Brockman won the multimillion-dollar ($130 million) state lottery jackpot and left the news desk while still on the air. However, he remained a news anchor because he was under contract, though he also admitted that he likes making $500,000 a year. He has an ongoing feud with traffic reporter Arnie Pye, and has been shown to criticize Pye's reporting and also even chuckles when it was thought Pye had died in a helicopter accident. It has been hinted that Brockman is ethnically Jewish, having changed his surname from Brockelstein. He can sometimes be spotted wearing the Hebrew Chai symbol on a necklace. He is seen several times attending Reverend Lovejoy's Protestant church,〔http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=186〕 and in "Marge on the Lam" he states his belief in the Book of Revelation,〔http://www.snpp.com/episodes/1F03.html〕 suggesting he professes Christian religious beliefs. Brockman's penchant for using offensive language works against him in the 400th episode, "You Kent Always Say What You Want", where, after Homer accidentally spills coffee on Brockman's crotch, he shouts what Ned Flanders calls a "super swear" that shocked everyone who watched it. Brockman was demoted to weather man due to the station paying a fine to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and was soon fired when the network executives deliberately mistook a ring of Splenda in Brockman's coffee for cocaine. Brockman was later given his job back to silence him (after doing an expose that was seen on YouTube uncovering the real reason the FCC is cracking down on obscenity in the media), with a 50% raise, making his new salary $750,000 a year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kent Brockman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
