NBC News Daily will have a new executive producer as Erika Josephson takes over the position. Josephson comes from within the NBCUniversal umbrella, working as a senior producer on the program from MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports. 

On Thursday afternoon, Janelle Rodriguez, the executive in charge of NBC News Now, shared a behind-the-scenes update. 

Before taking on the executive producer role on the show hosted by Kate Snow and Zinhle Essamuah, Josephson also served as a line and segment producer at MSNBC and spent seven years at CBS News, producing news and feature pieces.

Furthermore, Josephson started on the assignment desk at NBC News and later became a producer for Weekend Today and Today.

There’s been plenty of movement at NBC News, as the network is reportedly teaming up with Salem Media Group to host a 2024 Republican presidential debate later this year.

The first night of the 44th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards was held Wednesday, and CNN was the big winner of the evening.

The network took home 10 wins on the night, setting a new record for itself in the process.

Additionally, longtime CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer received the Lifetime Achievement Award for his distinguished career in news media. The network’s Washington Bureau Chief and Senior Vice President Sam Feist presented the award to Blitzer.

CNN won categories of Live Breaking News Coverage and Continuing News Coverage: Short Form for its reporting on the war in Ukraine. Additionally, Anderson Cooper 360 won three awards for Investigative News Coverage: Short Form, Hard News Feature Story: Short Form, and Live Interview: Short Form.

Christiane Amanpour was awarded the honor for Outstanding Live Interview: Long Form for her work with Russian Presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

Selina Wang took home the award for Outstanding Emerging Journalists.

Meanwhile, the network also won honors for Outstanding Direction and Outstanding Graphic Design and Art Direction.

The second night of the awards ceremony will take place this evening and will center upon documentaries.

Tucker Carlson hosted an interview with Bill O’Reilly as counter-programming to the second 2024 Republican Presidential debate. During the conversation, O’Reilly accused Carlson of never asking him for advice. Carlson quickly shared that O’Reilly’s comments were inaccurate.

During a discussion about the future of cable news, Carlson asked O’Reilly if he gave new Fox News primetime host Jesse Watters — who previously worked under O’Reilly — any advice before he began hosting the 7:00 PM ET timeslot.

The guest then shared that he only gives advice when asked, before turning his attention to the host saying “You yourself have never asked me for advice”.

“That’s totally false,” replied Carlson. “I schlepped to your office. When I took over for Greta Van Susteren, I waited in the anteroom of your office. In fact (Roger) Ailes told me ‘Go kiss O’Reilly’s ass’, and that’s the first thing I did.”

“What did I tell you?” questioned Bill O’Reilly.

“You said ‘It’s a very treacherous business. Mind your own business. Stay in your own lane. Do your thing’,” Carlson reminisced.

“I thought that was good advice,” O’Reilly admitted.

“Yes, I thought it was great advice,” said Tucker Carlson.

“I’m sorry. I’m old now. I forget things,” joked O’Reilly.

According to publicly available analytics from X, Carlson’s interview with O’Reilly has garnered more than 11 million views.
