Tom Llamas hasn’t even warmed Lester Holt’s chair and already he’s plotting a network shake-up!
Just a couple of months into his run as NBC Nightly News anchor and managing editor, the 46-year-old is lobbying to move the broadcast from 30 Rock to Miami, according to insiders.
“He calls New York a bubble,” one source reveals. “He wants the show in Florida — closer to the people, away from the elite.”

Born and raised in Miami by Cuban immigrant parents, Llamas sees the move as both lifestyle and strategy — aligning the broadcast with a more conservative-leaning audience.
“Some think it’s bold and could reenergize the brand,” says an NBC producer. “Others think it’s an ego trip and a logistical nightmare.”
