The masses tuned in to watch Brokaw’s final night as the anchor of Nightly News. An astonishing 15.7 million viewers tuned in on December 1, 2004, to say goodbye to the longtime television personality. Brokaw left the audience with one last remark:

” And it is in that spirit that I say, thanks, for all that I have learned from you. That’s been my richest reward.

That’s Nightly News for this Wednesday night. I’m Tom Brokaw. You’ll see Brian Williams here tomorrow night, and I’ll see you along the way.”
