At the time, he was a co-anchor of Saturday Today with Soledad O'Brien... after his death, he'd eventually be replaced by MSNBC's John Seigenthaler and then Lester Holt.

 

David hands over the coverage to Brian Williams in the NBC Nightly News studio at 4:47.

I wonder where David Bloom would have been today had he not died nearly 15 years ago. It still seems like it was yesterday. He had a great future ahead of him and had he lived he could have been on the Today Show, NBC Nightly News or Meet the Press as it's host.

Probably at this rate not at NBC News especially not on anything related to TODAY. Like mentioned numerous time in previous threads, Matt pretty much viewed every male as a threat on “his” show. If anything he might would have been a contender in getting the Nightly News show during the Brian Williams situation. Other than that, he probably would have been at another network (a la cable news). Still RIP David Bloom, an upstanding guy!

That's very true. Matt Lauer probably would have made sure of it that David Bloom was out at Today within a few years if not NBC altogether. He might have gotten NBC Nightly News in 2015 as he was in the same position Lester Holt was in before his untimely passing. Lester Holt took over for both David Bloom and Brian Williams by accident. That's something else one can wonder is what would have been of Lester Holt had David Bloom not passed away. David Bloom seemed like an upstanding guy and it's just tragic that he died so young.

Soledad O'Brien I heard wanted to leave after David passed away because she felt it wasn't the same without David.
