• Lester Holt Prepped to Take Over for Brian Williams -- Permanently

    As Brian Williams's credibility continues to crash and burn at NBC News, the network desperately needs someone to step up and reassure viewers that it is credible, and right now the best man for the job is Lester Holt. His on-air presence is calm yet rock solid. He has filled in for nearly everyone in his 15 years at the network, including Williams, and his way of delivering the news reeks of credibility and certainty. Holt is certainly the man who can keep "NBC Nightly News" afloat while the network decides what to do with Williams and what seems to be quickly turning into a repeated problem with "misremembering" particular events. Holt is being prepped to take over for Williams permanently.

  • Rosie O'Donnell Calls Brian Williams 'Liar' While Presenting Award to HBO Honcho

    The story about Brian Williams admitting that he "misremembered" whether or not he was in a chopper hit by a grenade in Iraq in 2003 has taken on a life of its own in recent days, hasn't it? Not only is that one account being disputed, but apparently Williams has enjoyed painting himself as a hero quite often, so NBC News is looking into many of the reports he has filed to fact check him. In the meantime, the "NBC Nightly News" anchor has willingly opted to take an open-ended leave of absence, according to CNN, but the longer he is gone, the worse it will look for his future with the network. Everyone has been weighing in on Williams becoming part of the news, including fellow headline-grabber Rosie O'Donnell, who called him a "liar" while presenting an award to an HBO honcho.
