Looks like a familiar face is returning.
Brian Williams, former NBC News anchor, is on track to be the host of an election night event.
This is said to be occurring over at Amazon Prime.
Five people that are familiar with the matter have reported this to Variety.
It’s been years since his reporting scandal. So this should be an interesting take.
The question is, will the public welcome him back?

Will he give a fair assessment of the election?
Fox News reports:
Former NBC News and MSNBC anchor Brian Williams, whose career was upended by an embarrassing reporting scandal in 2015, is negotiating his first hosting gig in years with a live Amazon Prime election night event.
Variety reported Saturday that five people “familiar with the matter” have said Williams and Amazon are in “late-stage discussions” for Williams to host the platform’s first live news-related program. The report claimed the aim of the event “is to have a non-partisan discussion of that evening’s events.”
“Amazon’s Election Night special would likely have Williams relying heavily on the Associated Press to determine how candidates were faring state by state. The show would stream from a studio in the Los Angeles area, one of the people said, and could start as early as 5 p.m. eastern,” Variety reported.
The report continued, “Williams would be prepared to stay at the desk for as many as seven to eight hours — and potentially more. In the case of a close election in which results are too close to call, this person says, Williams would broadcast for as long as it might be sustainable.”
Variety added the deal does not necessarily mean the platform will produce more news programming events.
His last sign off in 2021:
