Lester Holt Will Bring Kids’ ‘Nightly News’ to NBC’s Saturday-Morning TV (EXCLUSIVE)

’s next NBC job takes him from serious “Nightly News” to a part of the TV schedule once known for being more animated.

Nickelodeon, part of ViacomCBS, recently named Magalie Laguerre-Wilkinson, a veteran producer at “60 Minutes,” as its vice president of news programming as well as executive producer of a rebooted “Nick News.” That well-regarded effort ended in 2016, when former host and producer Linda Ellerbee retired.

There is precedent for the show. CBS News between 1971 and 1986 featured two-minute-long “In The News” segments for kids during Saturday-morning cartoons. The main anchor, Christopher Glenn, narrated the reports without appearing on camera. Between 1978 and 1982, however, he anchored “30 Minutes,” a kids’ version of mainstay “60 Minutes” that appeared on CBS after the Saturday cartoons had ended for the day.

Recent “Kids Edition” episodes on YouTube – 50 have been made so far — feature Holt and NBC News medical correspondent Dr. John Torres answering coronavirus questions from young viewers who email videos of themselves. Many of them thank “Mr. Holt” for doing the show, and one young girl even showed off a new spider-shaped hair accessory. The program also features a series on “Inspiring Kids,” like one young teen who continues to swim despite losing her sight due to a rare autoimmune disease.

Just what kids want on Saturday morning

Right, genius idea. Next up, steamed Brussels sprouts!

Even the idea of “Saturday Morning TV” is old...

More indoctrination and inculcation of woke culture?

Yes, b/c kids want to watch Lester holt deliver the news to them at night. Cause Lester holt is popular with kids in the 65+ age demographic. Wouldn’t it be smarter to have some kids delivering news to kids? So they might actually enjoy & relate to it?

Terrific idea. Try not to scare them to death.

Start the left wing indoctrination young!! MediaBias MediaHacks
