Scott Dooley

Who is Scott Dooley?

Scott "Dools" Dooley is an Australian comedian and radio announcer best known for his tenure with state-owned national youth network, Triple J and Nova 96.9.

Dools began his career at Triple J as a work experience kid. Following an on-air revelation that he had a third nipple he then went on to be a guest on the Breakfast show with Adam and Wil where he starred in the Friday segment, "Are You Smarter Than Dools?". He has hosted the mid-dawn program - a common shift for new announcers - and the "Summer Nights" weeknight program which airs during the summer non-ratings period. On 7 January 2008, he joined Linda Marigliano to present the afternoon drive program from 3-5:30pm weekdays. Linda left the station on 5 December 2008 leaving Dools as the sole presenter for the drive program, until his eventual departure on 4 December 2009.

In mid-2009, Dools introduced a segment on his show, Annoying Dom Alessio, which consisted predictably of instances devoted to annoying fellow Triple J presenter Dom Alessio. A number of methods were used, including a rubiks cube, a word puzzle and hiding Alessio's car keys. Alessio exacted a degree of revenge on Dools on 3 July 2009 when he posted Scott Dooley's personal mobile phone number on the internet as well as announcing it over the radio.
