Lester Holt<\/strong> signed off from the NBC Nightly News on Friday. The NBC News veteran took a moment at the end of the newscast to reflect on his decade in the anchor\u2019s chair. <\/p>\n

\u201cAfter 10 years, this is my last Nightly News broadcast,\u201d Holt said. \u201cAs anchor, it has been an honor to lead this program and an honor to be welcomed into your homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holt also thanked the extended Nightly News team, who joined him on-camera for his final moments as anchor. \u201cI\u2019ll miss our evenings together, and I will miss the team that puts it all together, my dear friends and my colleagues,\u201d he remarked. <\/p>\n

Watch Lester Holt\u2019s farewell below:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Holt announced his departure in February<\/a>, calling his time at the Nightly News \u201cthe honor of a lifetime.\u201d But he\u2019s staying in the NBC News family, moving over into a full-time role at Dateline NBC, where he\u2019s been a principal anchor since 2011. <\/p>\n

He made his first public remarks about his post-Nightly News career <\/a>during appearances at two awards ceremonies in April, the University of Kansas\u2019\u00a0William Allen White<\/strong>\u00a0National Citation Award and Long Island University\u2019s\u00a0George Polk<\/strong>\u00a0Awards. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I know is that journalism is still a noble profession,\u201d he remarked at the University of Kansas event. \u201cBut one of tremendous responsibility.\u00a0 There is no room for arrogance if we are to succeed in our mission. There is however room for compassion.\u201d <\/p>\n

Holt echoed the tenor of those comments in his closing Nightly News remarks, saying: \u201cAround here, facts matter, words matter, journalism matters, and you<\/em> matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Llamas<\/strong> will step into the Nightly News anchor\u2019s chair<\/a> on June 2. In a sign of the times, Llamas will continue to host his streaming show, Top Story with Tom Llamas, in addition to his broadcast duties. Holt wished his successor well in his closing remarks, and a promo for the Llamas-anchored Nightly News<\/a> ran during the newscast. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prior to his farewell, Holt appeared on the Today show<\/a> and spoke with co-hosts Savannah Guthrie<\/strong> and Craig Melvin<\/strong> about his Nightly News tenure. \u201cThe timing just seemed right,\u201d he remarked. \u201cI never wanted to be one of those people that was totally associated with just one thing. I always think you have to have something else in your life.\u201d <\/p>\n

Speaking of his new Dateline role, Holt said that \u201clong-form [journalism] is something I really wanted to get my teeth into; it\u2019s a different set of news muscles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holt\u2019s departure from the Nightly News leaves ABC News\u2019 World News Tonight anchor David Muir<\/strong> as the longest-tenured network evening news anchor. Norah O\u2019Donnell<\/strong> left the CBS Evening News in January<\/a> for a broader senior correspondent role at the embattled network<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
