Brokaw, celebrated as the chronicler of "The Greatest Generation," began his career with NBC News in 1966 in the Los Angeles bureau, where he covered Ronald Reagan's first run for public office, the rise of the Sixties counter culture, the assassination of Bobby Kennedy and the 1968 presidential campaign. In 1973, he moved to Washington as the NBC News White House correspondent, a position he held until 1976 when he started co-hosting TODAY. In 1983, he became the anchor and managing editor of "NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw." Brokaw was the first to conduct an interview with Mikhail Gorbachev, the first to provide a network report on human rights abuses in Tibet accompanied by an exclusive interview with the Dalai Lama and the only American network anchor to report from Berlin the night the Berlin wall came down. Brokaw's first book, "The Greatest Generation," is one of the most popular nonfiction books of the 20th century. In November 2014, he was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama, the nation's highest civilian honor. He contributed to NBC News' coverage of the 2016 Election and served as a special correspondent for the presidential inauguration last Friday.

"Tom Brokaw at NBC News: The First 50 Years" is produced by the "Dateline NBC" team, with Senior Executive Producer David Corvo, Executive Producer Liz Cole and Senior Producer Tim Uehlinger.
