Brian Williams is a veteran American journalist and television news anchor who worked for NBC News and MSNBC for nearly three decades. In February 2015, he was suspended for six months from NBC Nightly News for misrepresenting and lying about his experience in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. After the incident came to light, NBC removed him from NBC Nightly News permanently and reassigned him as the breaking news anchor for MSNBC. Williams next steps have been the subject of much speculation since he left NBC News and MSNBC after his contract expired late last year. He has enlisted the representation of CAA to help represent him as he seeks new opportunities. There has long been thought that Williams might seek out not just journalism opportunities, but duties that might give him the chance to nod to the worlds of entertainment and popular culture. In December 2021, Williams signed off from MSNBCs "11th Hour" for the last time, giving viewers a piece of his mind on the state of America.
