He’s a familiar face in Las Vegas sports. Vegas Golden Knights game host and Top Rank Boxing announcer Mark Shunock has lined up another high-profile gig — in-game host at Las Vegas Raiders home games at Allegiant Stadium.

Shunock joins entertainment host Sibley Scoles as the Raiders in-game host duo starting with Monday Night Football’s Raiders vs. Baltimore Ravens game at Allegiant Stadium.

Shunock spent almost 10 years living in New York City performing on America’s premier stages, earning a Helen Hayes Nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Timon in Disney’s The Lion King. He recently starred in the Broadway Hit Rock of Ages at the Venetian/Palazzo in Las Vegas.

Shunock has transitioned to sports, stoking the crowds at T-Mobile Arena during Golden Knights games and also announcing boxers for Las Vegas-based Top Rank Boxing fight events.

Scoles, who grew up as a Raiders fan, is an actress, television host, model and former recording artist. When she’s not engaging the Raider Nation during her in-game host duties at Allegiant Stadium, Sibley can be seen as co-host of Access Hollywood Weekend and correspondent for both Access Hollywood and All Access.

“Growing up in the Bay, I was raised a Raider fan,” Scoles said.

“As a kid my Dad would tell me stories of going to games back at Laney College. He’d show my sister and I his signed photos and game balls of Fred Biletnikoff, Daryle Lamonica and Jim Otto and of course, “Snake” Ken Stabler just to name a few,” Scoles Said. “My family bleeds silver and black. Watching the Raiders is something that brings us all together. To now have this opportunity with the Las Vegas Raiders is beyond my wildest dreams. I am honored to be part of the team and continue making memories with Raider Nation.”
