The former face of NBC News, MSNBC anchorman Brian Williams sang his swan song during his final 11-Hour Telecast.

The peacock first blew it when they made Bill Cosby an American superstar. We all remember how that turned out giving validity to the #MeToo movement. First at I-Spy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOwQWDSzjYw then for The Cosby Show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz44GvrYJ4w

Oopsie is a sounding word some folks use to describe the feeling they get after finally realizing they may have messed up big time.

Why on this Giving Tuesday would the network give him the proverbial boot in his butt? Should reporters and officials ever work together regardless of the family connections or bloodline? I happen to watch his show last night and he never said a thing, just like the time when his brother's story broke. Days later they fired him.

It felt like I was watching a silent movie. I could clearly see the top of the building starting to collapse. But I do not remember the sound at all.

 I watched the north tower disappear with my own eyes from a few blocks away, at Chelsea Piers where the police stopped TV Tokyo's crew and others.

I met Gustavo Godoy when he was anchoring Noticiero SIN with Teresa Abate in Miami when I had been hired as executive producer.
