Embattled NBC News Chairman Andy Lack is facing the boot from the once-prestigious news division over his mishandling of a series of #MeToo scandals and the Megyn Kelly debacle, sources exclusively confirmed to Page Six.
Comcast chiefs have been seeking a replacement for Lack, 71, who is on the ropes after the downfall of his once close-friend Matt Lauer, the Brian Williams wreckage and allegations against legendary anchor Tom Brokaw.
And there’s still-lingering questions about why NBC News sat on the infamous “Access Hollywood” “Grab em by the p?-?-?-?y” Donald Trump tape, and why they refused to run Ronan Farrow’s exposé on Harvey Weinstein before he went to the New Yorker.

OH NOES...now he will get impeached for having white hair.
gee, hard to believe

Same as the old boss.
NBC worst anti trump network. The NBC news is the most virulent anti trump so called news operation. Lack and should be fired.
They have good ratings
He won’t be fired
What’s with the news Blackout on the SNL guy’s sexual harassment allegations? Les Moonves?
Lack has been talked about being fired for the last year.
Only persons that are a sure bet at FOX News are BOR & Hannity
That would be a shame.
LOL!
When i said Network I meant Network as in Broadcast network. Cable channels like cnn are not licensed broadcast networks. The worst anti trump cable channel is of course cnn.
MSNBC is number two in cable
NBC is number one in alphabets
Lack is 71 and facing #metoo silly scrutiny
Megyn deal was a really dumb move! I have hoped her show fails miserably and that NBC regrets their move! I will be happy to think she’s part of his downfall! I guess you can say I’m unforgiving because I still hope her show is dying on the vine and she gets fired too!
