Even so, here is a link to a HuffPo article from a couple of days ago commenting on 5 possible replacements (and 1 impossible one): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/07/brian-williams-replacement-nbc-nightly-news_n_6636324.html?ir=Media 1. Lester Holt 2. Savannah Guthrie 3. Matt Lauer 4. Jake Tapper 5. Katie Couric I have completely lost touch with the Today Show, but this article brings up a good point - if Williams stays toxic, moving Lauer to the Nightly News allows them to bring up Josh Elliott to replace him at Today, which could solve two problems at once (or make two short-term or minor problems chronic and serious ones). -- -- TV or Not TV ....
