The ratings have improved since Lester Holt has been anchoring the Nightly News on NBC. Maybe they will leave him in the anchors chair longer than six months.

I don't watch him on NBC but have watched him on other shows and like him.

That's interesting - I like Lester Holt and started watching NBC News once he took over. I just never was a fan of BW so I didn't watch when he was the anchor. Guess there are others who feel the same way :-) NBC will have a real quandry if the ratings stay higher with LH as the anchor.

I hope he gets to stay the anchor. Brian can do specials or something, but i really like Lester.

Before the whole Brian Williams story I thought Lester Holt is the hardest working person. He did the even Saturday and Sunday news and also the morning weekend Today Show. Like a split shift.

I agree completely. Hard working, and also very good at what he does.

He has always been my favorite, and I've always liked him better than BW. He is an excellent newscaster and deserves to keep the job permanently.

I like him on Dateline.

And agree he's an excellent reporter from what I've seen on the news broadcasts.

Keeping Lester Holt would definitely be my preference. I've always liked and respected him.
