Williams appeared on another NBC News program this morning, moderating “Meet the Press” from New Orleans five years after Katrina. Williams interviewed actor Brad Pitt who is leading an effort to rebuild houses in the city.

Williams interviews Pres. Obama later today and that interview will air tonight on “Nightly News.”
