Honoring Brian Williams: Top 10 Moments Of His Remarkable Career In Journalism
Babylon Bee ^ | 11/10/21

human race as one of the greatest journalists to walk the earth. In honor of this brave hero, let us take a look back at the top 10 moments of his career.

1) When he wrote The Star Spangled Banner under cannon fire: In addition to being a brave journalist, Brian Williams is also a brilliant lyricist. According to his own account, he wrote all night as cannonballs exploded overhead. Amazing!

2) That time he destroyed the Death Star without even using his targeting computer: Only Brian Williams could do something so amazing.

3) The day he marched arm in arm with MLK at Selma: Proof that Brian Williams is not racist.

4) Inspiring Paul McCartney to write "Hey Jude": But not even McCartney performed it as well as Brian Williams would have, if he had been given the chance.

5) Editing the Declaration of Independence for Thomas Jefferson: Unfortunately, in the editing process, he removed Jefferson's anti-slavery clause. Not one of his finest moments.

6) When he discovered climate change: Future generations will owe their lives to Brian Williams.

7) The moment he cast the One Ring into the fires of Mount Doom all by himself without any help: And he did so under small arms and RPG fire.

8) When he defeated Thanos with only 3 infinity stones: Also under small arms and RPG fire.

9) The time he calmly took charge of Apollo 13 to guide the ship back to earth: Luckily, he had experience with scary situations after his helicopter went down in Iraq.

10) Reporting on Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden: Yes, he was there when it all began. And if Adam and Eve had listened, we could have avoided all this mess. But then we wouldn't have all these incredible moments with Brian Williams.

There goes Lyin' Brian. Now he can pursue his pet project, restoring a 70s era Chevy 10 pickup with the exploding gas tank feature.

Don’t forget “Williams’s List”, documenting the hundreds of Jews Williams saved from certain death at the hands of the Germans during WWII. Heroic bravery.

I wonder how many times Williams has jumped at the opportunity to say to actual VIP’s and people of note, “Thank you so much. It is truly an honor for me to be here with all of you today...” The more he says it the more honorable he must be!

Don’t forget getting paid millions for many years of lying to the American people.

When I saw an online article saying he had quit PMSNBC, I couldn’t remember who he was or why we should be interested.

Not to mention his interview in 1969 with Armstrong and Aldren on the moon.

Watching Nixon flummox Khrushchev in the “Kitchen Debate” in Moscow was also pretty cool, as Nixon delivered zinger after zinger fed to him through his earpiece by Brian Williams.
