I have always liked Lester Holt.

He was in Chicago doing news for quite awhile.

He had a partner, Linda McLellan (not sure I spelled that right). Lester and Linda kind of became my favorites. Bill Curtis was on with them also.

I forgot about Linda M. They were a great team.

Do you watch Stefan Holt in the morning? He's very good.

I don't watch anything before 7pm. And I don't watch network news anymore!

No, you're right, I was seeing the guy on the weekend and then the woman last night. But it does say she will be the one filling in for Lester while he is out. I won't be able to watch NBC news if that is so, her voice is really grating. Other than that I have no idea who she is.

Savannah Guthrie is on the NBC Today show on weekdays from 7 - 9 a.m. my time. I do not know if she is on the Today show which is shown on the weekends as well.

Savannah isn't on the weekend Today show. Erica Hill and Lester Holt do Weekend Today. Someone has been filling in for Lester on the weekend Today show since he started doing the nightly news during the week. They also have someone filling in for Lester on the weekend nightly news since he's been doing it during the week.

Lester Holt just tweeted that he'll be back on the air tonight (according to MSN).

Thanks for this thread, Ford. I read the same thing this morning, after doing a search because he wasn't there last night.

I can't watch Savannah Guthrie, and she's one reason I turn off the Today show if it comes on before I'm ready to walk out the door in the morning. She might be a lovely person, but I can't watch or listen to her. She just annoys me.

Savannah is a Stepford morning show host, paid to be subservient to Matt Lauer. She's too much of a "lightweight" for the evening news. I don't care for her or Matt Lauer.

I am sure he has a personality and if we dig down far enough we will find it. He reads the news like a human Telepromter.

Lester Holt is a favorite

[chickenbutt]

Oh no. I hope things will be ok for him and his family.

I really like him, but I've only seen him host one of the magazine shows - 48 hours or 20/20, one of those on the ID channel. I didn't know he had a regular gig, but I'm glad for him and hope he returns soon.

I do too. I think Lester Holt is fantastic!

I totally disagree. Lester is very competent!
