• Lester Holt Expected to be Named New Permanent Anchor of 'NBC Nightly News' Soon

    After months of speculation and circulating rumors, NBC News is reportedly very close to announcing that Lester Holt will officially be replacing Brian Williams as the permanent anchor of "NBC Nightly News." While the network originally suspended Williams more than four months ago for lying about his experiences in the field, they had reportedly hoped to be able to bring him back.

  • Is NBC Leaking Info in the Hopes That Brian Williams Will Resign?

    Everyone loves a good drama and it seems that one of NBC's best offerings right now is actually taking place behind the scenes. The network's news bureau is still knee-deep in the scandal caused by Brian Williams flat out lying about some of his experiences in the field. When he was placed on a 6-month suspension back in February, the NBC D.C. news bureau almost immediately strongly opposed the idea of ever bringing back the disgraced anchor. Williams recently stated that he's not going to lose the prime gig at "NBC Nightly News" without a good fight and suddenly all sorts of leaks in the network's formal investigation started hitting the press. Is the pressure on to try and force Williams to resign? Many seem to think so.

  • Fallen NBC News Anchor Brian Williams Lied On-Air on Numerous Occasions

    Brian Williams is already about ten weeks into his six-month suspension from NBC News and from the sounds of things, it's pretty unlikely that he will be returning to the anchor desk that made him a household name. While his embellishment over a story about a helicopter ride years ago got him into hot water, it's NBC's internal investigation of Williams' reporting that may end up being a total career killer. Richard Esposito is leading a team of at least five other NBC journalists and their digging into Williams supposed escapades has uncovered a serious pattern of lying.

  • Peter Reckell and Stephen Nichols Confirmed to Be Returning to 'Days of Our Lives' for 50th Anniversary

    Good news for longtime 'Days of Our Lives' fans, as we can now confirm that at least a few characters that were once an integral part of the show's history will be back onscreen later this year. In November, 'Days' will celebrate its 50th anniversary, and as it is so often like to do, the show will mark the occasion with some familiar faces. We now know for sure that Peter Reckell and Stephen Nichols will be returning to Salem, possibly for at least a few episodes.

  • NBC Ready to Dump Meredith Vieira's Show in Favor of Something Similar to 'The View'

    'The View' may be floundering over at ABC, but it seems that the concept of the show is what a few networks are now hoping to successfully replicate. NBC has taken a close look at the round-table discussion style, talk-show format, and it is now something it is actively putting together to test out. In order to make room for this kind of show on its daily schedule, it looks like Meredith Vieira's talk show is what is on the chopping block. Although it was renewed for a second season, the viewers just are not there to make it a profitable venture.

  • Zelda Williams Tells 'Today' That She Has Stopped Questioning Her Father's Suicide

    It has been six months since Robin Williams chose to end his own life, and finally his daughter is ready to talk to the press. When she sat for an interview with 'Today's' Kate Snow, Zelda Williams knew questions regarding her father's suicide were inevitable, but in order to continue the charity work he began, they were necessary. Williams wanted to bring attention to the Challenged Athlete Foundation, a charity that provides prosthetics to disabled athletes, and in doing so she opened up about her father a bit, saying she has stopped questioning her father's suicide.

  • Geraldo Rivera Believes NBC Has No Intention of Bringing Brian Williams Back

    Leave it to Geraldo Rivera to make real sense out of the scandal swirling around Brian Williams. NBC suspended their top anchor for six months for embellishing at least one major news story. Unfortunately, Williams seemed to find it necessary to make himself a bit of a hero within his own reporting rather than just telling it like it was, and unfortunately that kind of flaw is fatal in the news business. Rivera believes the network basically offered up a "death penalty" to Williams's career without actually firing him, and therefore has no intention of bringing him back.

  • Brian Williams Apologizes for Perpetuating False Story of RPG-Related Crash: Will NBC News Fire Him?

    Oh, boy -- NBC News's Brian Williams has really gotten himself in deep. Over the last 10 years, the veteran journalist and news anchor has been telling a story about how he was on board a chopper that was brought down by a grenade at the beginning of the war in Iraq. After a recent "NBC Nightly News" segment featured the story again, those aboard the chopper that went down spoke up, insisting that Williams was never with them -- in fact, he arrived an hour after their crash, asking for details on what had happened. The anchor had apologized for perpetuating the false story of an RPG-related crash, so will he be fired?

  • Jennifer Aniston Reveals That Her 'Friends' Role Almost Went to Courteney Cox

    Can you imagine if another actress other than Jennifer Aniston had been cast as Rachel Green in Friends? Well, the actress was making the rounds at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Friday when she divulged that for a short while it looked as though the part was going to go to someone else.

  • Kathie Lee Gifford Ready to Exit 'Today' After NBC Snubs Her 18-Minute Musical

    Kathie Lee Gifford seems like the kind of woman who is always on the verge of a fight with someone, right? It is not because she is mean, but there is a candidness about her that does not sit well with everyone. Over the years we have heard numerous reports about her feuds with friends and co-workers, but the latest one is a real doozy. Successfully hosting the fourth hour of "Today" is supposed to carry with it certain perks, or at least that was her thinking, but her NBC boss Deborah Turness recently showed Gifford otherwise, leaving the diva furious and getting ready to exit. Gifford has created an 18-minute musical "Not Today and Tomorrow's Not Looking Good Either" that was supposed to air in early December before NBC's live broadcast of "Peter Pan."

  • 'Parks and Recreation' Recap & Review: Dennis Feinstein, Perd Hapley and Treat Yo Self 2017!

    Parks and Recreation went into unexplored territory last week when they examined what we'll call "bad feelings." Ron Swanson and Leslie Knope had to mend their friendship, which they did, after some betrayals and letting time get in the way of their "work-proximity-associateship" (as Ron so elegantly put it). "Leslie & Ron" was the first standout episode of the season, but now that they're on the same page, there's plenty of room for classic P&R hijinks.
