Brian Williams, Amazon In Talks For Election Night Special


Williams has been off TV since his departure from MSNBC in 2021.

Amazon is in talks with Brian Williams, the former NBC News and MSNBC anchor, to host an election night special for the streaming service, according to two sources familiar with the plans. Williams served as anchor of NBC Nightly News from 2004 to 2015, when he was removed amid reports that, in talk show appearances, he embellished some of his experiences covering the war in Iraq. He was then assigned to anchor for MSNBC, and in 2016 became the host of the network’s The 11th Hour, which established a following, in part for Williams’ wit and unique takes during the Trump presidency.
