Brian Williams is returning to NBC -- but not as the anchor of the evening news. Instead, he will anchor breaking news and special reports on MSNBC.

“Right now, we’re looking at it week by week,” Capus said. “Brian is enormously talented, and it seemed like a logical place to turn for this weekend. But I haven’t been able think beyond that.”

Bump and Update: Barack Obama did the "Live From Saturday Night" opening line...he was good!

It seems like an incongruous choice, but I bet Brian Williams is good tonight on Saturday Night Live.
From this new interview, he's got a sense of humor and may not be as strait-laced as he sometimes comes off doing the news.
