Liugrad2020 80 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Does anyone think that once it’s announced that Tom Llamas is going to NBC that it could be announced that he will take over for Lester Holt on Nightly News in the short term or long term future?

Newsjunkie24 423 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Lester will probably anchor for at least 5 more years. He's not retiring anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Llamas think Cesar Conde gonna help him as a fellow "hermano" The NABJ will put a stop to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC 7 Denver 1462 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I wonder if Tom will become the Weekend Anchor of Nightly News. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew 124 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I don’t see Kate Snow leaving Sunday Nightly News anytime soon. I could see Jose leave Saturday’s since he has his weeknight newscast and Sunday morning public affairs program on Telemundo. But I see Tom more as a chief correspondent and maybe a weeknight show on NBC News Now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew 124 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I see but still 6 days a week. If I ran telemundo news I wouldn’t want one of my main anchors off during the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's earned her stripes as of late but I'm iffy about her as head anchor of NBC News. I'm surprised she made it nearly 8 years as host of Today.

Nearly 9 years I should say. She took over in 2012 (was thinking '13). Hopefully Holt stays put. He's a straight shooting no drama newsman. Hypothetically, if Lester were to leave, I'd go for Shepherd Smith as head anchor. (minus a few animated moments he's had on air in the past at Fox).

Hopefully they stopped that after the election? (I honestly usually watch ABC if I am home at that time). There's enough opinion in the news on TV (read: just about every cable news program)- Lester just needs to stick to the facts of the day to have a quality half-hour show. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 4760 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 If this is just gonna turn into a random thought thread about NBC News (when Tom's destination hasn't even been confirmed), then this thread can be locked. Frankly, I don't know that his exit even needed a dedicated discussion. We'll see where he winds up in due time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His background hasn't changed from before the pandemic. Previously, Lester and Kate would walk down the hall and give a Nigthly tease on News4. He never did. Seems it was too far for him to walk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make more sense for him to remain in Miami. Maybe Tom will take over for him on Saturday NN. We will see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There be another studio he be in that in fact Lester sometimes would be in for teases or special report an monitor with a repeating loop of the NBC 4th floor newsroom. But he be in New York all the time!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
