Let me guess, so he can churn out the same b.s. as Williams did. After all, that must be the going market rate, eh?

Yup, and Lester knows he has that trump card. Good for him for putting them over the barrel. Pay up, or he’ll be on every other network doing panels on the topic of why NBC is engaging “wage discrimination”.

““He’s got NBC by the balls — because there is no Plan B for them. This is Lester’s chance to get paid.” Holt can renegotiate his deal since his role is changing.”
This has got to be the stupidest article ever.
No intelligent person cares about Lester Holt or watches him read the news. Holt has no skills. He is not worth $4 million per year. If he did not have the NBC job would be making little more than minimum wage. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people who can read a teleprompter as well as him.
NBC execs make stupid decisions. NBC News is continues to lose viewers. But why pay $10 million per year to a mediocre news reader?
To: BilLies
Ratings? Ha! That would assume pay was based on performance. Doubt that’s applicable, in this situation.

Dats right. Somebody better get on the horn with Je$$e Jack$on, NBC is trying to shaft a brother.

..."He’s got NBC by the balls... I like the sound of that. Go get 'em Lester!

No less than Brian’s, according to recent surveys.
Give him the $10 million...

“There’s a lot of drama at NBC News,” There sure as hell isn't any journalism there.
