Jane Pauley

One of the most respected figures in American broadcast journalism, Jane Pauley served as co-host of NBC's TODAY for thirteen years, anchored the Weekend Edition of NBC News, appeared as a regular substitute for Tom Brokaw on Nightly News, and hosted both "Time and Again," a retrospective news program on MSNBC, and "Real Life with Jane Pauley," a weekly newsmagazine. 

For more than a decade, Pauley anchored DATELINE NBC with co-host, Stone Phillips, appearing as many as four nights a week on the NBC primetime schedule. In 2004, she returned to television with "The Jane Pauley Show."  A member of the Broadcast and Cable Hall of Fame, Pauley has been honored with multiple Emmy Awards, the Edward R.
