#Quote
1[when asked on David Letterman's show if Pakistan had prior knowledge of the Osama Bin Laden raid] I'll answer your question with a question. What does it tell you that the White House didn't call Pakistan and say, "Hey, good news -- here are the GPS coordinates, we found him. Would you mind running by a squad car and pick him up?"
2[on the loss of Jeff Gralnick] Every other anchorman he worked with was fully formed, I was his lump of clay. And his mentoring, his polishing--often personal, loud, profane, but always right--never stopped.
3One of my most enjoyable moments was being around the set of The Sopranos (1999) . . . Just being around those people was a joy, and, all due respect to the issues of stereotypes, it was a terrific portrait of New Jersey and a certain segment of the population that may or may not exist.
4[on Wikipedia] And now, apparently because encyclopedias were too exact, we have Wikipedia, the inexact encyclopedia. We don't get hung up on facts. In my entry alone there are seven errors, and I'm completely unimportant.
#Fact
1He has Irish, Swedish, and German ancestry.
2He was inducted into the 2014 New Jersey Hall of Fame in the Arts and Letters Category.
3Since taking over as anchor and managing editor of "NBC Nightly News" in 2004, Brian is seen by more U.S. TV viewers, on a daily basis, than any other personality.
4Had knee replacement surgery in August 2013, announced publicly on several occasions, and spoke about the surgery on several talk shows, including his October 3, 2013 appearance on Late Show with David Letterman (1993) on rival CBS network.
5Shares his name with long-time Canadian sportscaster Brian Williams. In a segment taped while they were both in Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics, the Canadian Williams said they had exchanged emails in the past but never met in person until then. They visited each other's sets, recorded mock introductions ("Welcome back to our coverage, CTV Prime Time with Brian Williams. I'm Brian Williams, sitting in for Brian Williams") and gave each other a gift. NBC's Williams gave Canada's Williams a jacket emblazoned with his show's logo - and his "own" name.
6He is nominated in the 2013 New Jersey Hall of Fame in the General Category.
7Father of Allison Williams.
8Worked as an intern during the administration of U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
9Known to have been a big fan of NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt, even visiting Earnhardt a few times (Williams and his son Douglas were at Talladega Super speedway in October 1999 for a race when Williams interviewed Earnhardt for his show).
10With the retirements of Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather and the death of Peter Jennings, Williams is, as of this writing, the longest-serving and highest-prated news anchor on television.
11He is a big New York Giants fan. On Late Night with Conan O'Brien (1993), Williams announced he "bleeds Giants blue".
12Replaced Maury Povich as host of locally produced Washington, DC, talk show "Panorama" in 1985.
13In the sitcom 30 Rock (2006) episode, 30 Rock: The Head and the Hair (2007), Jack and Kenneth are sent to clean up Williams' dressing room while he is apparently at the liquor store - in the room, they find underwear filled with bird seed, and graffiti on the wall reading "Katie Couric Sucks".
14Has appeared on The Daily Show (1996) as a celebrity guest and interviewed by Jon Stewart, who is actually a longtime friend. A gag involving his head being projected on a screen behind Stewart has been used twice since the show moved to a new set on April 9, 2007; during one of these appearances the head actually addressed and made fun of Stewart as part of the joke.
15At the 2007 Radio and Television Correspondents' Association dinner, Williams was pulled up on stage by Improv comedians Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood and made sound effects as the two comedians performed a skit.
16Appeared on Saturday Night Live (1975) September 30, 2006, ready to co- anchor the "Weekend Update" segment with Amy Poehler, but is told by Poehler that Seth Meyers will be co-anchoring instead.
17Attended Mater Dei High School in New Monmouth (Middletown), New Jersey.
18Received an honorary doctorate from the Catholic University of America in May 2004, although he never graduated from there.
19Will take over for Tom Brokaw on the NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt (1970) in November 2004 after the elections.
20Has won several Emmys
21Spent several years as a volunteer firefighter in New Jersey
22Is an occasional guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992), Late Night with Conan O'Brien (1993), and Late Show with David Letterman (1993).
23Received honorary doctorate from Elmira College in May 1998
24Named "Father of the Year" by the National Fathers' Day Committee in 1996
25Lives in Connecticut
26Has two children
27A native of both New York and New Jersey
