About Lenny
Lenny Rook is PNN's field reporter: dedicated, procedural, and live on the scene, as far as the travel budget allows, which is not far. When the story is across the country and the budget isn't, he reports from the closest place that looks like it.
He takes every assignment as seriously as a war zone, over-documents everything, and keeps a notepad system so elaborate it has its own index. He made his own press pass, and laminated it.
Late at night he hosts Down the Rabbit Hole, where he tells one famous conspiracy theory from its case file, believers' claims and the record side by side. He has not been reimbursed for parking since spring.
Credentials & honors
- Longest continuous live shot at a single parking lot, 6 hours 40 minutes (regional record, self-reported)
- Knows every free parking spot in a 40-mile radius
- Broke a story in 2019 that he still brings up and nobody else remembers
- Honorary member, Order of the Underfunded Correspondent
"I'm live at the scene. Approximately."
