At KCAL he co-anchored the 5 and 11 p.m. newscasts with Pat Harvey and the 8 and 10 p.m. KCAL newscasts with Suzie Suh. According to his KTRK biography, Glover “was bitten by the news bug at the age of 5 when his dad built him his very own mini ‘anchor desk’ for his newscasts that he would perform for his family every Sunday after church.” He went on to study broadcast journalism, music and theater at Alabama’s Troy University.
