With Tom Llamas taking over NBC Nightly News I'm thinking back to when Brian Williams was at the helm. I really liked his narrative style, especially in his anchor intros. The show has truly not been the same since he screwed himself. Shame. I really liked the broadcast from CNBC HQ during the 2008 financial collapse especially the shaky hand newsroom shots.

I don't really think Brian Williams screwed himself per say. He was moved to MSNBC and left around the time politics and journalism became perverted and sensational. I know he did stuff for Amazon during the election, the most important question is why would he go to Amazon who was partially responsible for getting Trump elected via The Washington Post not endorsing either candidate?

 

And I know Amazon is a division with a bunch of companies owned by Jeff Bezos.

 

He left MSNBC on his own terms though and is still presented and represented as a legendary journalist at NBC News.

 

If you really want somebody who totally screwed himself over. Look no further than Matt Lauer who is persona non grata at NBC. The day after his last show was basically the news anchors of Today at the time talking about his firing over sexual misconduct.

 

There are still videos up featuring him on the official Today channel but aside from that, NBC News does not mention Matt Lauer at all, only reluctantly because Matt is a large part of the Today's show history from 1996-2018. Almost 3 decades of content that features him. I don't think anybody misses Matt anyways. YT comments that mention him are either pounding on him for his treatment of women or semi-nostalgic for his tenure. I say semi-nostalgic because I haven't anybody say that The Today Show needs Matt back, they just like those days when Studio 1A actually had people in it.
