Discussion: NBC Replaces Brian Williams With Lester Holt As 'Nightly News' Anchor

Discussion for article #237613

He belongs at Fox
Horrible decision

I am not a fan but he’s hardly Fox News material

They never intended to bring him back as an anchor anyway. The issue was trying to get him in a contract breach so they would not have to pay him. Since they are keeping him and looking for other ways to fit him in, that means they could not legally terminate his huge contract. So they will give him some less prominent gig. If he decides to leave and do something else, then they won’t have to pay him. But for now he will get huge bucks for NOT doing the Nightly News, instead doing something far less prominent.

He had resigned for MAJOR bucks just prior to all this. Had NBC actually done their homework before renewing it, he’d be screwed. Instead, he gets a fat paycheck every week. Funny.

Lester Holt belongs at FOX? Why?
