Being a journalist myself, I have been very thankful for Lester Holt’s journalism skills. He also seems to be a very nice man that is very respectful to others. Sharon and I will miss his nightly newscast. Having to prep for the nightly news five days a week has to take a toll, especially with all the crazy going on and trying to make sense of it. Very stressful. It stresses me out. Lester is one of a few newscasters I trust.
