He has reported on sports stories such as various Super Bowls and the Kobe Bryant rape case, as well as news items such as the September 11 terrorist attacks. He worked as a sports anchor at the early Ultimate Fighting Championship, along with NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown.

Controversy
Comments Alluding to Eugenics & Racial Purity[3]
On July 8, 2009, Kilmeade, the brown-haired guy who is not Steve Doocy, and two co-hosts were discussing a study that, based on research done in Finland and Sweden, showed people who stay married are less likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Kilmeade commented, (in the U.S.A.) "We keep marrying other species and other ethnics…". Over the objections of his co-host Gretchen Carlson, he added, "See, the problem is the Swedes have pure genes. Because they marry other Swedes.… Finns marry other Finns, so they have a pure society. In America we marry everybody. We will marry Italians and Irish."[4]
