*B. Williams said, a few minutes ago, he'll be 'gone' after next Thursday.

1. Holiday?

[leftieNanner]

3. Retirement

I think

[elleng]

4. 'Retiring' from MSNBC job.

[Ptah]

12. Ok, thanks.

[Stinky The Clown]

2. I thought he was staying to the end of the year

Any word on where he's going?

[elleng]

5. Didn't say; was an 'aside' remark.

[Stinky The Clown]

7. I just googled his name and got this:

MSNBC host and former “NBC Nightly News” anchor and managing editor Brian Williams is leaving NBC at the end of the year to “spend time with his family,” MSNBC President Rashida Jones said Tuesday.Nov 10, 2021

Longtime anchor Brian Williams leaving NBC after 28 years

[sarcasmo]

26. Good for the family time, thought Williams might have took a gig with CNN+ .

8. I wonder who will take his spot?

As controversial as some people may find him, I’d watch Michael Steele. No he’s not a democrat, but I watch Joe Scarborough so that’s not a deal breaker for me.

[Cracklin Charlie]

10. I like Nicolle Wallace.

Excellent question asker.

13. Zero Chance Of Her

She has a family and does not want the 11:00 PM slot. Not to mention she has a 2 hour slot in the afternoon, and it would be idiotic to give up an hour.

[BigmanPigman]

9. I heard him say that and felt so sad.

I knew he was retiring at the end of the year but this is even sooner. I love his sarcasm.

[elleng]

11. Yes, great for sarcasm, and inherent wisdom.

[renate]

14. I'm so sad about this

I hope that he and everyone in his family is okay. It seems as though he has fun at his job so I wonder why he’d leave rather than extend his contract.

I’m really, really going to miss him. His show is my favorite. I love him to bits.

[burrowowl]

15. Sad

I like B. Williams, he has a lot of in depth knowledge of the workings of DC politics.

[Raine]

16. I like him, sometimes he irritates me but he's probably my favorite on MSNBC and

I'll miss him. 😔 Good luck to him in whatever the future holds for him! 👍

[hlthe2b]

18. There is no one on MSNBC who hasn't occasionally irritated me. But, I like him a lot. A loss....

sigh...

[hlthe2b]

17. I will be sad to see him go. I hope he might return for specials (and not go to another outlet)

[NurseJackie]

20. Yes... especially this!

(and not go to another outlet)

Yes... especially this!

[RicROC]

19. My two favorite up-coming personalities are Ali Velchi and Jose Diaz-Balart.

I would like to see both of them taking over some of the high profile roles.

[tulipsandroses]

21. I don't think Ali would want that slot. He gave up his daytime spot to go to weekends

When his daytime show ended, I remember him saying he was switching to weekends because it better fit his schedule.

[Mr.Bill]

23. I think he's also a good utility player, to use a baseball term.

He can fill in for anybody at any hour and look like he belongs there.

Wonder if they could move Shep Smith over from CNBC?

[iemanja]

24. I bet most of these decisions are made by the network

and the hosts just play along.

[sarcasmo]

25. I wonder if Williams took the CNN+ gig that Maddow turned down?
