Brian Williams Continues Through Fire Alarm

10:01 AM PST 12/22/2011 by David Simpson

NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams was in the middle of introducing a report on American Airlines' bankruptcy filing on Nov. 29 when a fire alarm in the building interrupted the newscast. But Williams didn't let the alarm deter him from delivering the news, continuing on as scheduled. The Daily Show's Jon Stewart later spoofed the fire alarm incident, with Williams giving the fake news anchor a taste of what it's like to experience it firsthand.
