Although Peter did both Nightly and TODAY yesterday. Peter did TODAY this morning couple other possibilities: Andy and Steve decided to bring Brian back early and he will be back tomorrow or this week sometime (This is the least likely and if this was the cast we would have found out by now as it would have been leak) so that why Lester was back in his normal chair this week.This one is not likely as If this was the case he would have done TODAY Show this yesterday and this morning Brian was let go permanently late last week or this weekend and a announcement will come sometime this week announcing Lester as the permanent Nightly News anchor.. They wanted Lester to anchor Weekend Nightly a couple more times before he officially moves to Weekday Show permanently in order to allow the weekend Show to have a more peaceful and smooth transition. I think this is the second most likely after ratings being down. Also allows Lester to say goodbye to Weekend Viewers explaining his move to weekday permanently. Since he hadn't been on Weekend Nightly for awhile he decided he would anchor tonight. but wouldn't he had done both days if that was the case? Dateline which comes on after Nightly on Sunday is pre tape so.

Hmm Good Question, Could be that especially if there audience who watches Weekend Nightly News. wouldn't surprise me. They probably wondering where in the world is Lester Holt but by this point they should know what going on. Everybody knows now even people who don't regularly watch any of the National Evening News on the weekends.

Interesting. I wonder if someone else will be doing the weekday Show this week or if Lester working six days this week? I wonder if the Weekend Show audience is the same as the Weekday one?

I have notice that over the last few weeks too. Some day Al and Natalie will be there right at the beginning but other days they aren't and don't show up until after the first news story. This morning they were there at the beginning. I am not sure why they have change that or why some days are and other they are not. It like they can't make up their mind on what they should do. I say leave it as it has been for two years now. I do like Natalie sitting at the same desk as Matt and Savannah now. It adds for more Banter and better use of the News-anchor. Before you really didn't see the News-anchor very much. it was very little interaction with them except when it was time for their news briefs and at 8:30 outside on the plaza with maybe one or two segment where they were seen. I think they should have done this years ago during the Katie and Matt era.

TODAY Show is my favorite Morning Show, I watch it every morning and can't start my day without it. I have been watching it since the Bryant/Katie days. My favorites of the current team is Savannah, Natalie, Willie, Matt. I really don't have a least favorite except for I do not like Kathie Lee and I can do without Tamron. Other then them I like everyone else. I have gotten use to Carson and think he been a good addition. He okay when he fills in for Matt but I would prefer Willie. Just as long as h does the lighter News stories and Savannah does all the Hard NEws stories and Politics he okay.
