Cam Brainard

  • Actor
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Cam "Buzz" Brainard was born and raised in Flint, Michigan. After high school, he attended Central Michigan University. Buzz spent the late 1980s in New York City and then came to the west coast so that he could play golf year-round. He hosts the weekly syndicated show "Altville" (heard on KZLA Sunday nights from 11pm to 12am), which features an eclectic mix of alternative country and Americana music. It hosts artists such as Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, Kasey Chambers, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Robert Earl Keen, Jack Ingram, Emmy Lou Harris, and many others.

In case you hadn't noticed, Buzz is a big sports fan, which makes him the perfect host of "This Week in Baseball" on Fox. Buzz is also the voice of the Disney Channel, host of "Breed All About It" on Animal Planet, and the smart aleck-narrator of "Maximum Exposure."

He loves hanging out at the Rose Bowl Flea Market, Las Vegas, or the Whitsett Driving Range.

Buzz and his wife Sandy have a precocious blonde-haired son named Hank, and two dogs named Frankie and Gibby (named after Kirk Gibson).
