Longtime NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw, once the most popular broadcaster in television news as he told viewers about the biggest events of that late 20th Century, said Friday that he's retiring from television. "For me, it's been an amazing journey — 57 years as a reporter," Brokaw said. Brokaw hosts an episode of the NBC morning news program Today alongside co-host Jane Pauley in 1981. He would go on to host NBC Nightly News two years later.
