Revisiting Brian Williams and Matt Lauer on the topic of being both network news stars and late night entertainers
02/12/15 01:26 PM
Back in 1997, your friendly content provider interviewed Brian Williams and Matt Lauer in New York on the subject of representing a “new generation of news dude.”
Both men had become reliably glib guests on late night talk shows in addition to transmitting the news of the day -- during their day jobs. In light of recent events, what they said at the time seems to be well worth revisiting. A reprise of the interview with NBC’s fastest-rising news stars is on the Back Channels page.
Also, Fox’s Empire remained very much in power Wednesday night. Our latest D-FW Nielsen ratings “snapshot” is on the Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
