Over the past few months, almost a dozen high-profile news anchors and hosts have left their roles, the latest being Lester Holt and Joy Reid.

The longtime newscaster said he would leave the daily news show at the “start of summer.” NBC did not immediately name a successor.

"I could never have imagined my career path would unfold in the way it has," the 65-year-old wrote in a lengthy statement announcing his departure.
