Lester Holt will step down as the anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News after a celebrated decade, transitioning to a full-time role with Dateline. His departure will occur around the start of summer 2024, but he plans to continue anchoring Nightly News until that time. Reflecting on his career, Holt expressed gratitude, sharing how he felt honored to work in journalism and highlighting the thrill of having anchored two iconic news programs.
Holt anchored weekend broadcasts of Nightly News for eight years before filling in for Brian Williams in 2015, officially becoming anchor that June.
As a 20-year-old radio reporter on the police beat chasing breaking news around San Francisco, I could never have imagined my career path would unfold in the way it has.
