Head of the NBC News Group Pat Fili-Krushel announced late Friday afternoon that the news magazine "Rock Center with Brian Williams" would be cancelled after its final airing on June 21.
“I would like to thank Brian, Alex, David and the entire 'Rock Center' team for their efforts. The show will be missed,” Fili-Krushel wrote in an email released after a very busy news day heading into a weekend. The timing suggests the 4th place (and sometimes 5th place) peacock network was hoping to minimize the public relations black eye associated with the failure of such a high-profile show.
The show had been Brian Williams' pet project and there have been fireworks between the nightly news anchor and the network. Just a few months ago, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Williams was "angry" with the network after the news magazine had moved to a fifth time slot in only two years.

Playing off the headline, was this Williams’ pet rock?
Was that a new show for people who are “dumb as a rock?” (which would be the average MSNBC viewer).
I managed to miss every one.
..ole bent beak deserves another failure
Never heard of it.
Watched it a few times. Couldn’t stand it. Would rather sit and watch a rock.
LOL.
Never heard of it.
What is always apparent with Brian Williams is his white eye sockets from wearing goggles during tanning sessions.
Apparently it was and by a lot of people -- thus it's cancellation.
Never heard of it either; but, would not have watched it anyway if the talentless hack Brian Williams was involved.
NBC? I haven’t watched them since Akroyd and Belushi left SNL.
More like Rock(head) Center. Brian Williams claiming to be unbiased is a little like Biden claiming to be a rocket scientist.
“Rock Center with Brian Williams and Chelsea Clinton” would have saved it.
Who is that, Gator?
Brian Williams’ daughter Allison. She’s an actress.
In the run up to the 2012 election, one of the most important in our time, Brian Williams thought free birth control pills was a more important issue than the jihadi murder of a US Ambassador.
