OF ‘NBC NEWS DAILY’ ON NBC How would you describe “NBC News Daily” as it begins its weekday run?
I would say it’s the same thing that we’ve been doing well forever at NBC News, which is ... the news. It’s really driven by good journalism. An hour is a lot of time in network news, and it allows you to be able to dig in a little more. I love the idea that as a correspondent, I can have a conversation and really get into something and talk with the anchors about what I’m reporting on. Now, I’m going to be the co-anchor who will be doing that, and we’ll have the best correspondents of NBC News on the broadcast. And we’ll be able to go a little bit deeper. “NBC News Daily” is replacing the long-running serial “Days of Our Lives,” which is moving to the Peacock streaming service. What would you say to fans of that show?
I understand that people are extremely loyal to “Days of Our Lives,” and now, they’re going to be able to watch it every day on their own schedule. It’s not going away, it’s just going to require a little adjustment. At the same time, if they tune in and see our show and they like the news, maybe they’ll watch. And I hope we’ll reach new viewers who are looking for news content. You’re also continuing as anchor of the Sunday edition of “NBC Nightly News” and as NBC News’ senior national correspondent, plus you have your web series “The Drink With Kate Snow.” With all of that also going on, how significant is your new “NBC News Daily” role to you?
Honestly, it was a bit of a surprise to me, but a really, really welcome one. My bosses reached out and said, “Hey, we’re thinking of doing this, and we think you’d be the right fit,” and I was thrilled.

I’ve been doing various roles at NBC News for 12 years now, and I’ve had a lot of fun, but this is such an opportunity. It blends a lot of different things, and it gives me a daily platform on the network and on streaming, which are both important. For me, it’s the best of everything.
