Which is unfortunate. But TV news personalities aren’t typically as old as Williams is. I’m fairly certain Andrea is the oldest person on any of the cable nets, stubbornly holding on to the camera with every fiber in her being.

Brian Williams is leaving MSNBC [View all] JoanofArgh Nov 2021 OP

That's too bad, he's had the opportunity to really speak out on his later hour show Rhiannon12866 Nov 2021 #1

He had a very dry sense of humor. I liked his show. JoanofArgh Nov 2021 #3

Agreed. lindysalsagal Nov 2021 #11

So did I, and it seemed like he enjoyed the opportunity to speak out Rhiannon12866 Nov 2021 #12

I agree. I will definitely miss him. hlthe2b Nov 2021 #14

You're right. MSNBC prime time is doing well in the ratings. Rhiannon12866 Nov 2021 #19

That's too bad. TomSlick Nov 2021 #8

Did CNN get him? oregonjen Nov 2021 #9

I don't know. He said in the article he's not retiring. I hope so. JoanofArgh Nov 2021 #13

I'd bet so. After they failed to get Rachel Maddow, it would be a "no-brainer" for them to hlthe2b Nov 2021 #15

I bet you're right. JoanofArgh Nov 2021 #20

Hoping he'll guest host on SNL... nilram Nov 2021 #16

Now how are we gonna keep track of how many days into the vanlassie Nov 2021 #17

He was a great anchor on election nights. Just the right mix of gravitas and humor. Gidney N Cloyd Nov 2021 #18

If he goes to cnn I can only imagine they will not allow him the same latitude. PortTack Nov 2021 #21

They allow Jim Acosta lots of latitude. Have you ever watched him? JoanofArgh Nov 2021 #22

I think his demotion actually helped his career. Xolodno Nov 2021 #23
