Lester Holt
THAT EXPLAINS IT
THE LOVING ARMS OF FOX
Trump has only done little more than a dozen TV interviews since his disastrous May 2017 chat with NBC’s Lester Holt. Shocker: All 15 interviewers are known Trump boosters.
UNSEEN
If you were watching CNN’s coverage of the Clinton vs Trump slugfest, moderator Lester Holt of NBC was nowhere to be seen—and today CNN won’t say why.
M.I.A.
The first 2016 presidential debate was a golden opportunity for the ‘NBC Nightly News’ anchor to introduce himself to a global audience. Instead he was steamrolled by both candidates.
‘America’s Direction’
Lester Holt should have Clinton and Trump, two candidates who profess to recognize that they’re in a flawed system, debate democracy first.
Peacocking
The network’s newest alpha male talks about Charleston, being a newsroom leader, and the Brian Williams fiasco.
Game of Thrones
He is universally liked and respected at NBC. But will Lester Holt, standing in for a suspended Brian Williams, ever take over ‘Nightly News’?
A mainstay of the 'Today' show—the puppy segment—takes a horrible turn as respected anchor Lester Holt becomes a victim. Note the unbridled joy of his colleagues.
