Meet The (Pizza-Friendly) Press

Posted by Adam Kuban, December 3, 2004

20041203Williams.jpgMeet Brian Williams (right), the man who has replaced Tom Brokaw on NBC's Nightly News program. Though we are sad to see Mr. Brokaw leave the show—our earliest memories include watching him read the news after we had finished supper—we approve of his successor.

That's because Mr. Williams is a talking head we can relate to. From an Associated Press story making the rounds:

Tom Brokaw's successor is a NASCAR dad who considers pizza night with the kids sacred -- thin crust, please -- and listened to hundreds of hours of White House tapes from the Johnson administration for fun...

He has two teenage children, and just bought the "Shrek 2" DVD for family viewing. Sunday is make-your-own pizza night at the Williams home.

We relate to the pizza stuff, not the Johnson tapes or the Shrek stuff, in case you were wondering.

Thanks to Jen for pointing this out. Photograph from NBC.
