Holt, who is reportedly earning a hefty wage of around $10 million per year, has been anchoring the “Nightly News” since 2015.
NBC “Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt could retire next year — and his would-be successor, Tom Llamas, “waits impatiently” for his exit in what looks like a “slow motion coup d’état” at 30 Rock, according to a report.
The 45-year-old Llamas is said to be close to Cesar Conde, who heads NBC’s news division. A source told Page Six in 2021 that Llamas is “clearly being groomed for a big role” and that Holt “negotiated a bigger title to stave off the threat.”Earlier this week, Comcast said it was considering spinning off its cable networks that include CNBC and MSNBC into a separate company.
Media companies are keen to slash salaries of top TV news stars as audiences shrink in the era of cord-cutting and podcasts.
