This is easily the most interesting thing Lester Holt has ever done. There he is, flying over Philadelphia’s “north side,” reporting on the train derailment from NBC 10’s SkyForce 10. I’m surprised that ABC’s David Muir, also in Philly tonight, wasn’t coming to us live from atop a moving locomotive, Van Damme-style, or that CBS’ Scott Pelley (yep, Philly) wasn’t… eh, what does he care, no one’s ever going to watch CBS’ nightly news broadcast anyway.
The Twitter reaction to Holt – which you can see after the jump – was hilarious. Sometimes, the Brian Williams jokes just write themselves:
