williamsvoice 0 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Anyone think they might eventually give David Gregory the "Weekend Today" reins to ease Holt's workload?

stevieboy247 42 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 And I also wonder if they'll use a different V/O for the weekend open? The used the same voiceover for years now. I can't think of his name though.

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 And I also wonder if they'll use a different V/O for the weekend open? The used the same voiceover for years now. I can't think of his name though. Fred Facey was the prior v/o, but he passed away in 2003. I wonder if there was a way to edit a recording where Holt filled in for Siegenthaler (or even better, if Facey recorded a v/o for Lester before he died).
