• Brian Williams Unwelcome at Meetings With NBC Top Brass to Decide His Fate

    "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams's future, not just with the network, but in the entire industry is hanging in the balance, and we are hearing that things are not looking too great for him.

  • NBC News Launches Investigation Into Brian Williams' Reporting

    Brian Williams is considered to be the face of NBC News and in just a few short days and with one admission of deceit his whole career is now in jeopardy. While Williams has tried to say that he simply didn't remember not being in that chopper that was hit with a grenade in Iraq back in 2003, that one incident may be the least of his problems. NBC News has launched an investigation into the top anchors' reporting and the results may not be too great.

  • Kathie Lee Ready to Exit 'Today' After NBC Snubs 18-Minute Musical

    Kathie Lee Gifford seems like the kind of woman who is always on the verge of a fight with someone, right? It is not because she is mean, but there is a candidness about her that does not sit well with everyone. Over the years we have heard numerous reports about her feuds with friends and co-workers, but the latest one is a real doozy. Successfully hosting the fourth hour of "Today" is supposed to carry with it certain perks, or at least that was her thinking, but her NBC boss Deborah Turness recently showed Gifford otherwise, leaving the diva furious and getting ready to exit. Gifford has created an 18-minute musical "Not Today and Tomorrow's Not Looking Good Either" that was supposed to air in early December before NBC's live broadcast of "Peter Pan."

  • NBC Signs Brian Williams to New Deal to Continue Anchoring 'Nightly News'

    Head honchos at NBC News are breathing a bit easier after officially signing NBC's "Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams to a new, multi-year contract that is sure to keep him around the halls of 30 Rock for a long time to come. Williams first took over the anchor seat from the legendary Tom Brokaw in 2004 and has pretty much dominated the evening news race from Day 1. In recent months ABC's David Muir has begun to challenge him in the ratings race, but Williams seems to be taking the competition in stride. NBC News President Deborah Turness announced Williams's new deal in a memo, which read, "Brian is one of the most trusted journalists of our time. He has led this organization through every major news event for the last decade, from Hurricane Katrina in his first year in the anchor chair to his exclusive interview with Edward Snowden this year, through elections, wars, natural disasters, tragedies and triumphs. In all of those cases he's taken 'Nightly News's' viewers to the heart of the stories that matter most in a way that's uniquely his."
