We knew she couldn't stay away for long!
Meredith Vieira, who stepped down as TODAY anchor in June, will return to NBC News effective immediately as a special correspondent for "Rock Center with Brian Williams," the new prime-time newsmagazine debuting this fall.
And the best news? In her new role, Meredith will also report for TODAY!
"From the day that Meredith joined us at NBC News, we knew she was family," said NBC News President Capus. "Meredith’s immeasurable talents reach beyond the newsroom to connect with the extraordinary people she interviews as well as the viewers at home. She is as genuine as you can get, a world-class journalist and a captivating storyteller. These skills will be hugely beneficial to 'Rock Center with Brian Williams' and across NBC News."
