Talk:Lester Holt

message: After hearing your report last night concerning the fiscal cliff legislation that Congress hastily past, we need to know specifically who the idiots are who wrote those items into the bill.  It seems they always go unidentified and are allowed to hide in the shadows.  It is clear that whoever it is has rubber stamped some lobbyists wish list once again instead of addressing the needs of this nation as a whole.  Perhaps an expose of this question and a clear picture that identifies that person in Congress who writes this stuff will stop this crap.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.194.84.100 (talk) 14:59, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Until NBC OFFICIALLY announces it, I don't think that it should be included that Holt is permanent and Williams is returning in a different role. It is just the media reporting and we don't actually know if it is true or not. Corkythehornetfan 01:15, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but it's multiple media sources, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, etc. In any case, the multiple media reports say there will be an announcement tomorrow, so it doesn't matter that much either way. 209.211.131.181 (talk) 04:49, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

message: After stating that his maternal grandparents are of Jamaican descent, the subsequent sentence says:
"His maternal grandfather was of half English and half Indian descent."
Is this possibly a typo, and should be paternal rather than maternal? I tried checking the reference but it wouldn't load for me.--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:39, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Paternal grandparent? 

message: In the "Personal life" section, the article says "...Holt became a grandfather to a boy when his son Stefan and his wife had their first child". This implies that Stefan and Lester's wife had a child and perhaps an incestual relationship. I suggest that the wording be changed to precisely state that Stefan and Stefan's wife had the child.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.197.182.131 (talk) 03:13, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
