As if saying goodbye to Ken Jennings last night on Jeopardy wasn't bad enough, tonight Tom Brokaw gave his last report as the anchor of the NBC Nightly News. God, what is the world coming to??
I always liked Tom. He was a reassuring voice in the worst of circumstances, and he seems to have a keen intellect and respect for history. I must admit I migrated to Peter Jennings (no relation to Ken) a couple of years ago, but I would still flip over to see how Tom was doing now and then. He's like somebody's favorite old uncle who can't pronounce his "L's".
Brokaw's replacement will be Brian Williams, who has been anchoring news programs on cable's MSNBC for some time. He's great -- a wonderful reporter, and a sly sense of humor as well.
Farewell Tom, and let's go Brian!
