Brian Williams is stepping away from NBC Nightly News for several days.
The anchor sent a note to the show's staff, announcing that Lester Holt is replacing him this week. The news comes as the anchor is embroiled in a scandal surrounding his story about being a passenger in a helicopter that took fire in the Iraq War.
Williams' message can be seen, below.
"In the midst of a career spent covering and consuming news, it has become painfully apparent to me that I am presently too much a part of the news, due to my actions.
"As Managing Editor of NBC Nightly News, I have decided to take myself off of my daily broadcast for the next several days, and Lester Holt has kindly agreed to sit in for me to allow us to adequately deal with this issue. Upon my return, I will continue my career-long effort to be worthy of the trust of those who place their trust in us."
More to come...

LoL! :-)
A pathological liar.
will Al Sharpton replace him? I think that I would watch nbc “news” to see that.
He makes that much money per day?????????!!!!!!
“He thinks that after 3 days, everyone will forget.”
Most liberals will.
They are discussing the contract.
Did he or did he not violate the contract by lying about his experiences as a reporter in the field.
If dismissed now, will he be paid for the remaining term of his contract
That is what is happening during the three or so days he will be off the air
ahahaha that one took me minute of “get”
Well, he’ll always have that interception at the goal line in the final seconds of Super Bowl XLIX.
Ha haaaaa!!! Good one. He gives himself a long weekend and all will be forgotten.
He's probably right.
I didn’t realize he is nearly 56; he can just declare “early retirement” and begin spending his savings and save on paying a lot of taxes from his “broadcasting”.
The soldiers that were actually under fire came forward and said he was no where near, let a lone in the Chinook that took fire..still don’t know how Bri-Bri was able to tell the lie for so many years...

Dear NBC,
Please replace Brian Williams with Al Sharpton.
This would please our racist president.
Scott Pelly, CBS.
David Muir, ABC.
We watch Muir every night.
I can’t stomach Williams after watching him kiss Obamas ass.
Thanks for the update.
With MSNBC on the rocks, DOA......NBC needs to fire Brian Williams immediately. Actually....the entire management staff of NBC news should be fired immediately, for tolerating this Obamabot serial lie teller, Williams. The NBC News executives all knew Williams was a serial lie teller from the start!!! Obama vermin bgets Obama vermin!!! What low life dummies these NBC dregs are!!!
