A SUCCESSOR has finally been named for Lester Holt, who will be leaving NBC Nightly News after a decade anchoring the show.
Tom Llamas, who currently works as an NBC News Senior National Correspondent, will be filling Holt’s shoes sometime this summer.
Llamas famously clashed heads with Donald Trump eight years ago during a press conference about Trump’s donations to veteran groups.
At the time, Llamas was working for ABC as the weekend anchor of ABC World News Tonight.
The journalist questioned the then-presidential candidate Trump on conflicting reports regarding money he raised on a televised event.
“What I don’t want is, when I raise millions of dollars, have people say – like this sleazy guy right over here from ABC; he’s a sleaze in my book,” Trump replied to Llamas’ question.
