Brian Williams to sign off on MSNBC for the last time before departing from NBC

After 28 years at NBC, Brian Williams is signing off from the network for the last time.

The anchor, 62, is scheduled to host his final episode of "The 11th Hour With Brian Williams" Thursday evening, an MSNBC spokesperson confirmed to USA TODAY.

MSNBC's schedule for Friday includes the premiere of MSNBC Films documentary "Paper & Glue" in Williams' spot. Beginning Monday, "The 11th Hour" will welcome a rotating cast of guest hosts.

William shared the news of his departure from the network exactly a month prior in a memo to NBC staffers obtained by USA TODAY, revealing that "following much reflection," he has decided to leave the network when his contract ends at the end of December.

"I have been truly blessed," Williams wrote. "I have been allowed to spend almost half of my life with one company. NBC is a part of me and always will be."After 28 years at NBC, Brian Williams is signing off from the network for the last time.

I think MSNBC is making a mistake in getting rid of him/allowing him to go.
