What really happened to NBC's Lester Holt? Did he decide to step down or was he forced out? Or did he step down because he was being forced out? The NBC news did a 180 after he left.

  These are my personal guesses:

  • NBC wanted someone who was the opposite of Lester, and he was given the decision to either host another show or resign.

  • Doing a show five days a week for ten years can really wear down someone, and he decided to host something that didn’t require him to host as often (since Dateline is a weekly show).

  • Lester wanted a change (as he has hosted the same show for many years).

  • NBC (as a whole) is changing, so they thought they should slowly change their hosts to reflect the political view they want, and why not start with a nightly show.

    change their hosts to reflect the political view they want

    It’s really sad that this sentence exists.

      CBS is doing the “Homer disappears into the bushes” move at this statement.
