A decision about Brian Williams’ fate at NBC could come as early as this week — and it looks like the embattled anchor won’t be returning to “NBC Nightly News.” Sources tell Page Six that Williams will likely lose his anchor chair following the lengthy internal investigation into his alleged tall tales.

But it is likely he won’t be back in the ‘Nightly’ anchor chair. A decision could be made as early as this week, if all sides can reach an agreement.”

I can’t believe he still has it.

[Secret Agent Man]

How about working as a propagandist liar altogether?

He can go back to stints on 30 Rock...yeah, you see what I did there....

[tcrlaf]

That he hasn’t lost it already shows the lack of integrity in today’s network “news” operations very clearly.

[Moonman62]

They’ll replace him with another liar who hasn’t been caught yet.

She was asked which would happen first: we defeat ISIS, or Brian Williams anchors again?

Clearly amused, Amnapour did not dodge the question and answered: 'We defeat ISIS'

MSNBC will pick him up the same day he loses his anchor seat.

Think Brian is waiting for the obama press secretary job...

[Snickering Hound]

Careful NBC, he has powerful friends.

This headline is best read hummed to the tune of Angry Chair by the great band Alice In Chains.

Hey NBC, you don’t even know the meaning of the word integrity anymore so what’s the difference?

[SamAdams76]

He looks really stupid and outclassed when he tries to "do comedy" on the Late Night show.

I can't begin to understand the big deal at NBC. The whole network has been reporting fantasy for years. If an NBC editor accidentally let the truth of anything slip into a report, he or she would have been heaved out the door so fast it would have created a tornado.

Brian's fantasies about himself should enhance his resume at NBC.

What really did him in was when Rush said Brian once treated Rush fairly.

A fellow who routinely parachutes behind enemy lines and eviscerates Muslim terrorists with his teeth needs no chair!

[mongo141]

This is not a bad thing.

In short, NBC News has just about signed off on a buyout for Brian Williams.

[a fool in paradise]

New NBC program: “Where in the world is Brian Williams’ chair?”

[Pollster1]

I can’t believe they would let him go, not when he’s one of the few people on air with more combat experience than Hillary Clinton.

[RitaOK]

Perfect pitch. :)
