Tom Llamas, a prominent broadcast journalist, is set to take over as anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News. In anticipation of his debut, a local bar near his Miami hometown hosted a watch party to support him. Celebrating his roots, Llamas expressed excitement and gratitude for the hometown cheer, with approximately 70 attendees from his community gathering to watch the newscast. The event garnered attention, including Al Roker's mention during a segment on the Today show, showcasing the strong connection Llamas maintains with Miami.
Tom Llamas shared a picture of the billboard his parents sent him on Instagram and Al Roker mentioned it during his chat with his NBC colleague on the 'Today' show.
Russell said about 70 people turned out for the watch party, including lots of 'Belen people.'
This is funny .... We had nothing to do with this,' Llamas answered, adding he would be live at 30 Rock and the event was being held for his family who was unable to travel up north.
Hometown boy done good,' said Russell, who added that once he put up the sign, 'everything went bananas.'
