Brian Williams on Watching Daughter Allison in ‘Girls’

By Chris Ariens 

Vulture caught up with Brian Williams at the TIME 100 Gala the other night. The mag asked the NBC News man what it’s like to watch his daughter Allison during steamy scenes of her HBO show “Girls.”

What is it like watching Girls for you? Are you covering your eyes?
No, no. It’s kvelling, pride. It’s incredibly great. Her co-creator and I have known always that she was going to be an actress. So it’s fantastic.

You’re fine with the awkward sex scenes?
Unmitigated joy.
