Tom Brokaw Will Step Down December First

By Gary Susman, Entertainment Weekly

On Dec. 2, Americans will get their first new nightly news anchor in more than 20 years. That'll be Brian Williams' first day on the job at ''NBC Nightly News,'' the top-rated among the three network evening newscasts. Variety reports that Tom Brokaw, the show's anchor since 1983, has told NBC brass that he will deliver his final newscast on Dec. 1.

Brokaw, 64, said two years ago that he'd retire after the 2004 elections but had not specified exactly when. NBC had been grooming successor Williams, 45, for a decade, giving him anchor gigs on sister channels CNBC and MSNBC. Brokaw's rivals -- Peter Jennings at ABC and Dan Rather at CBS, who've also been in their anchor chairs for more than two decades -- may enjoy a temporary ratings bounce after Brokaw leaves, but both of them are also expected to retire in the next couple of years.

Brokaw has also said that, even after he leaves his post, he'll still be sticking around NBC News to make specials. As he said two years ago, his retirement from the anchor chair ''doesn't mean I'm going to sit in the Anchorman's Rest Home and take soft food.'

all these skate and surf reviews on livejournal. now im REALLY upset i missed it. fuck new jersey and fuck asbury park. everyones like 'oh it was an awesome show best ever' blah blah blah 'i got to hang out with pete/andy/patrick (not joe)'. am here i am just blankly staring at the computer screen. i will get over it, just now right now. i know i really really missed out.

all the pretty pretty kids with their tired tired eyes

flipside festival- saw amazing bands. met up with old friends. ate bad pizza. saw some really good bands. the show was on the brink of being a disaster. nothing worked- except the kids. thank you for singing and dancing with us.

skate and surf- the problem with shows in new jersey is every one is so great, we are always sure the next won't be able to live up to it. we missed you. saw so many old friends and bands we've toured with. every moment was a highlight for me. someone pulled the fire alarm so we were nervous cause we were playing later than expected. but it made me feel better seeing all the smiling faces. seriously i don't know when the last time was we played such a great show. everyone in that room wanted to be there and it makes me feel dizzy to look out and see kids singing along as far back as i can see. i heard that the room got so full that some kids weren't able to see us, i apologize. i am glad i got to talk to so many people.

there was such an awesome reaction to the clandestine stuff and the skate deck that we are gonna bump up getting the store online, you will be able to get the stuff soon at www.clandestineindustries.com

i know you always think i'm blue. but i just wanted to let you know that this last year has been so amazing for me. i have met so many new hearts and i can't thank you enough. up there it didn't feel like we deserved it but at the same time it felt so perfect. i don't have the words that i owe you but trust me, they are swirling around my head.
