Lester Holt wants Brian Williams’ $10M Salary
Lester Holt — who’s primed to permanently take overfor fibbing Brian Williams on “NBC Nightly News” — wants the same $10 million-per-year salary Williams was getting.
Holt’s agents want to quietly renegotiate his contract with NBC as the network tries to reach a resolution over Williams, who will not return to “Nightly News” following an internal investigation.
But insiders tell us it’s Holt who’s got the upper hand as NBC News has no backup anchor plan.
“There’s a lot of drama at NBC News,” said a source familiar with the upcoming negotiations. Holt is currently being paid about $4 million per year as the “Nightly News” weekend anchor and for other assignments. But the network so far has offered Holt less than lyin’ Brian was making to take over the newscast, a source said.
