Scott Lightfoot

Videojournalist with @ctvtoronto Always in search of weird, wacky, or wonderful story ideas. DM’s are open so send some my way..

One of the highlights of this job was getting to meet the man I get asked about almost every day. Contrary to popular belief (and Google), we weren’t related, but on the several occasions I met him, he couldn’t have been nicer.

Lightfoot is gone, but the legend lives on..

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

Sometimes someone steps up for you, without you asking (or even knowing), and in doing so, profoundly alters the course of your career (and your life).

For me that person was @AustinCTV

Congrats on your well earned retirement Austin- and thanks for everything.

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

@tintinx21 Great meeting you too Christina- thanks for saying hi!

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

@jrdnshea Hey Jordan- Scott from CTV News here- I'd like to get in touch with your grandfather- can you shoot me a DM with his contact info?

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

85-year-old Hortense Anglin just graduated with a BA from @YorkUniversity Her story is great- but so too was this anecdote about computers- something she had to learn in order to complete her degree.

When I grow up, I want to be just like Hortense.

The snow may be gone, but this story lives on. Nice job @CarterTrozzolo - I hope you get that hug one day!

[The Kelly Clarkson Show @KellyClarksonTV]

The SIGH 🤣 No one is happier winter is over than young snow shoveler Carter from Toronto, whose hilarious interview with @CTVNews racked up over 15 million views!

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

@abbyjneufeld We’re not that exciting in real life tbh..

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

@rejsalvador Nice to see you (or I guess more accurately, nice to be seen)! Either way, thanks for watching!

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

@rjetromp Solid question. If you call my parents, their answering machine has always said “you’ve reached the Lightfeet”.

Congrats to whomever won the dinner.

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

@HopHeadRachel @CarterTrozzolo <sigh> grab a shovel…

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

@HopHeadRachel Both.. I think it was both viral and vital!

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

I’ve seen a few parodies and memes from Monday’s viral story- but this is the first song (and it’s remarkably catchy).

Kudos to @anonymotif for creating
“Always Tired” (Carter Trozzolo remix)

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

@Bowman27 @CTVNews At the very least he could have picked up a shovel!

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

From very tired to viral star, with lots of heavy sighing in between.

Carter Trozzolo just wants to go back to school- but before he does he’s sharing his thoughts about becoming a snow shoveling sensation.

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

<Insert deep sigh> Tonight on @CTVToronto at 6- we sit down with Carter for his take on the snow, the shovelling, the sighing, and his new viral fame... (spoiler alert: he'd rather be in school) <Insert another sigh>

[Kyle Siler (@kylesiler.bsky.social) @KyleSiler]

This is A+ investigative journalism. I want a follow-up on Carter.

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

@Mitchejmsays Haha thanks. That’s all my fault. Gotta have some fun on a day like that. Appreciate the note- and thanks for watching!

[Scott Lightfoot @slightfootCTV]

@itsjustiny This is adorable! Merry Christmas Justine- I hope you have a great 2021!
