Brian Williams’ daughter addresses controversy: “I can’t wait until he’s back on TV”

Williams’ mother was in the audience for Wednesday’s event.

“My dad has always been there for us 100% of the time, even sometimes before we knew we needed him,” Williams added. “And so this, to be here for him, is the least we can do.”

Allison Williams’ remarks are probably as close as we’ll come to hearing from Brian Williams for a while.

NBC News has barred the anchor from speaking to the press without permission, and he hasn’t addressed the matter since he apologized on February 4 for telling an exaggerated story about a helicopter mission in Iraq.
