He moved to Los Angeles in 1986 as a correspondent, covering entertainment, politics, and other business news.

Grover has appeared on numerous national television and radio programs including CNBC’s “Kudlow and Cramer,” “America Now,” and “Squawk Box,” as well as PBS’s “The News Hour with Jim Lehrer.” Most recently, he appeared on CNBC’s “Kudlow and Cramer” discussing the “Hollywood Heist” cover story.
