Cross One Off Lester Holt’s Bucket List: Jamming With ‘The Roots’

By Jordan Chariton 

Last night, Lester Holt got out of the anchor chair to live out a longtime musical fantasy.

The “Dateline” and “Today” and “Nightly News” weekend anchor, who has performed with his base guitar everywhere from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville to NBC’s offices, jammed alongside the “The Tonight Show” band “The Roots.” Holt rocked out over a remixed version “NBC Nightly News'” theme music. Watch the “Today” show crew sing his praises this morning.
