Longtime CBS News reporter Harry Smith has found a new home on NBC. I have not been a CBS news fan, always tending to Brokaw and now Williams on NBC, my biggest exposure to Harry Smith was on David Letterman's constant running jokes regarding his on air colonoscopy.
So it is with surprise that I in watching the new Brian Williams show what a strong reporter Harry Smith is. Not a pretty boy by any means, and being so incredibly personable one cannot help but like Smith. Beyond that however his interview skills are very strong.
When the Brian Williams show debuted this year the first story was about a town in the Dakotas in the burgeoning oil fields that could not get enough workers, in short if you were willing to go there a job was waiting. Recently he visited Africa and dealt with the story of the illicit trade of rhino horns and ways that is being attacked. This week he was in Russia speaking to dissidents against the corruption of the Putin regime. No matter the story Harry Smith connects. He is a fantastic reporter and another reason not to miss Rock Center.
