rkolsen 1678 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 A month maybe? Doesn't seem like it was that long. I thought it was longer. I think the earliest he was on air was during the Triple Crown but hasn't appeared since. He seems to be a lot of voice overs lately. Just this past month for Comcast SportsNet MidAtlantic narrated a fascinating hour long commercial free look at the US Naval Academy's sea trials.

24994J 5276 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I saw online that he's in Seattle for the first football game tonight, so his role was already bound to expand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about this the other day. Josh and Sam both made stupid decisions with respect to their careers. They've both been buried on channels a lot of people don't watch.

They've both been buried on channels a lot of people don't watch. Honestly, having some time to let some things play out, I think they made decent decisions. Sam's move might seem like a step down, but the role he plays behind the scenes is large when you look at broadcast meteorology as a whole. It also moved him closer to his husband's Miami stomping grounds, making the back-and-forth a little easier. Josh, on the other hand, is going to have to be patient. If NBC tries to dump him on the Today show as anything more than a contributor, he's in trouble. If he lets time pass, he is setting himself up for the #2 hosting gig for the Olympics come 2016 (Al Michaels is going to retire at some point), and there's no reason why he wouldn't be a suitable successor to Bob Costas...even if it takes the better part of a decade. That would definitely be a good move over the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In today's world, people are all about the now and have already forgotten about the yesterday. They may have been good personal moves, but I don't think they were good career moves.

jtgh922 18 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I think NBC is slowly grooming Josh to be Matt's replacement. I don't care what NBC says, he wouldn't have left ABC without having Today involved in his deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1150 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I definitely enjoy watching CBSN, and I've really enjoyed watching him as news reader on GMA. This is a great development for both. And he came at the right time because of election season. This oughta be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh, that's fine. When I watch GMA, I definitely never see him as "hard news" like George Stephanopolous or Amy Robach, but I do think he can handle hard news in doses as correspondent and do the odd human-interest story, like I mentioned above during his tenure as newsreader. I just hope they know what his strengths and weaknesses are for him to last longer here than at NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see where else CBS uses him (as a correspondent and/or a sub anchor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
