One of the nicest things about NBC is that Tom Brokaw is not Dan Rather.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I got a lot of love for NBC, Tom Brokaw. He did a lot for me, and I appreciate him, and I owe a lot to him for that.
In the end, Dan Rather's legend skewered him, CBS and the craft of journalism.
Tom Browkaw said it best. He said NBC could survive without him or the rest of the news division, but not Nancy Fields.
Tom Brokaw was never young.
CBS fought very hard on this because it believed and believes that there's a principle at stake here. The principle is that Dan Rather doesn't work for the police, and that people that speak to Dan Rather understand that he's a journalist and not a police agent.
Tom is the most eccentric person I have ever worked with. We get on very well and I am most impressed with how he can hold an audience in the palm of his hand.
Dan Harmon has this idea that characters on TV are allowed to talk about their favorite movies and TV shows and songs.
I'm a huge Michael J. Fox fan.
One of the reasons I loved working with Tom is people feel they know who he is... I think working with an actor who the audience already has a relationship with actually helps you in a film like this.
Dan Rather and I just aren't especially chummy.
