NBC Resurrects Brian Williams
by Don Irvine on May 28, 2019
Former NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams whose career imploded after he was caught lying on the air in 2015 about being on a helicopter in a combat zone in Iraq in 2003 has apparently made it back into the good graces at the network.
Williams appeared at the recent upfronts–an annual presentation where networks preview their fall programs for advertisers, which is normally reserved only for the network’s stars and an event that Williams hasn’t been a part of since his downfall.
NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke who called Williams’ lie a faux pas and said it was “inexcusable†is letting his recent track record speak for itself as to why he is now an important part of NBC’s future plans.
