Williams still on desk at 'SNL'

November 02, 2007 Williams is no doubt the first guest host who in the course of a week will anchor the network's nightly newscasts, co-moderate a presidential debate and guest-host "SNL." In a break between "NBC Nightly News" and moderating the Democratic presidential debate at Drexel University, Williams said that he had worked that day on the debate preparation until 2:30 p.m. and then shifted gears for the daily news meeting and worked on the newscast until a little after 7 p.m. Williams is known not only for his journalistic skills but also his personal wit, which has been shown in various places including a "Weekend Update" skit on a previous "SNL."
