Tom Llamas takes over as the main anchor on NBC Nightly News beginning Monday.
He started in the biz as a go-fer on a local station at the tender age of 15. Which meant getting to certain areas where he was needed wasn't always easy,
"It’s not the position he expected to have when he was 15 years old and working as an overnight production assistant at WSCV, a Telemundo station in Miami. “Whatever they wanted me to do, I would do,” recalls Llamas. “You’re getting coffee, answering phones, running the teleprompter, going to our crime scenes, interviewing local officials.” He had to enlist his mother for car rides until he got his driver’s license."
Llamas' anchor duties won't end when the show is over at 7 PM. He'll immediately host yet another program on the network's NBC News Now streaming service. I wonder how long that schedule will last.
Welcome, Tom Llamas, to TV’s Never-Ending Evening-News Battle
