‘Dateline NBC’ Celebrates Anniversary with Facebook Chat

By Brian Flood 

“Dateline NBC” is celebrating its 23rd anniversary this week (although the network is calling it a “birthday”) and to celebrate, the show’s crew spent some time responding to fans on Facebook. Lester HoltKeith Morrison, Andrea Canning, and Josh Mankiewicz answered several questions, from what it’s like interviewing someone that’s guilty to how they’re assigned to stories.

Holt spoke about his son following in his footsteps and Morrison was asked if he’d consider competing on “Dancing with the Stars.” Morrison, who is clearly a crowd favorite, was often complimented for his voice during the chat. We even learned that NBC had “17 failed news magazines” before “Dateline.” (It’s had a couple since, too.)
