Nick Clooney Supports EKU Bid For Presidential Debate

Nick Clooney, television host, an award-winning journalist and globally-engaged humanitarian, added his voice - literally - to those supporting Eastern Kentucky University's bid to host a 2012 Presidential Debate.

Clooney, a Maysville native who in 2008 received an honorary doctor of humanities degree from EKU, narrated a video that accompanied the University's bid proposal. The 13-minute film, produced by EKU Media, touted the suitability of Eastern and surrounding communities to host such an event. In addition to testimonials from leading federal, state and local officials, it detailed all the available campus venues and the various forms of logistical support a Presidential debate would demand.

Clooney and his wife, Nina, a native of Perryville in nearby Boyle County, came to the Richmond campus to record the narration.

"EKU and the surrounding communities can offer the facilities, resources, the logistical support, experienced personnel, a ready supply of volunteers, natural beauty and, most of all, a can-do spirit that adds up to a winning combination for a great Presidential debate in 2012," Mr. Clooney said in the video.

"We believe this is the premier site in our country for the 2012 Presidential debate," Mrs. Clooney added.

EKU is one of 12 colleges and universities nationwide competing to host four debates in 2012 - three Presidential debates and one Vice Presidential debate. The Commission on Presidential Debate is expected to announce its selections by November 2011. They visited the EKU campus in May.

The University's 2,012-seat Center for the Arts, set to open in September 2011, would serve as the debate hall. Many other adjacent campus facilities, such as the Business and Technology Center, Perkins Building and Alumni Coliseum, would serve auxiliary purposes.

Nick Clooney became a regional legend during his years in Cincinnati television, where he is best remembered for his hard-hitting coverage of the tragic Beverly Hills Supper Club fire. He also held anchor positions in Lexington, Buffalo, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City before entering print journalism as a columnist for the Cincinnati Post. He is a member of both the Cincinnati and Kentucky Journalism Halls of Fame and the Ohio Television Hall of Fame.

In addition, Clooney hosted "The Money Maze," a television game show in the 1970s, and gained further national notoriety as a host on the AMC cable television channel.
