David Muir: My First Big Break

David Muir has known since middle school that he was going to be a TV news anchor. What he didn't know is that four weeks into being named the main anchor of a network evening newscast, his show would be No. 1.
While Muir's biggest break came this summer, when he was named anchor of ABC's "World News Tonight," his first big break came when he was just 12 years old, growing up in Syracuse, NY when he wrote a letter to the local TV news anchorman.

David was friends with my daughter at Ithaca College. They did an internship at The Fund for American Studies In DC during their summer break. At the end of the internship there was a graduation at which David was chosen to speak as a graduate of the program.. ( Britt Hume was the guest speaker). What I will never forget is how David ended his speech. He said “I hope someday I will say, this is David Muir, ABC News, Good Night!” His dream did come true. He is so deserving...keep up the great work David.

I've been a beginner journalist two or three times in my childhood and as a youth. I have never aspired to be anything more than that in that department. If we were all journalist there'd be nobody on the other end watching the journalist and anchors. I always enjoy watching David Muir on ABC News. Many times I even shed tears some of joy and some of Sorrow from the stories that are being portrayed through this anchor. Thanks David. 🤗 HUGz

[@kitty3863]

Growing up in Central New York we 'd watch David as a "rookie" on TV5/Syracuse. People knew he was going far and he has made us proud!

I can remember when David worked at channel 5 in Boston. He was fantastic. I think WCVB in Boston is a training ground for those destined to go on to bigger thing. Chuck Scarborough and Keith Olberman were two others that did it.

[@DuJay1994]

I’m glad to hear your story of becoming a journalist. You’ve been my second favorite, Peter Jennings was first, now you two are tied. Thank you for doing what you do. I trust the news coming from you. Thank you.

You are the best David.

Yes he is. His lover works in the same line of work.

[@NYSCNYC]

@@staying_positive4829 .. So true.

[@GERENDAZEE]

@@NYSCNYC IT DOESN'T MATTER EITHER WAY IF HE'S GAY - WHO CARES? WHY IS THAT EVEN AT ISSUE? HE'S BETTER AT THE JOB THAN MOST. GET OVER THE LOOKS. LISTEN TO THE VOICE AND WHAT HE'S SAYING. PEOPLE GET LOST IN LOOKS - THE CONTENT OF THE REPORT HE DELIVERS IS WHAT IS EXCELLENT. LOOKS ARE SECONDARY AND GOOD LOOKS MATTER IN THAT BUSINESS YES BUT IF HE WERE UGLY HE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN HIRED AND YOU WOULD NOT KNOW HIM AS A TV JOURNALIST, NOT A BIG ONE. WOMEN ALWAYS HAVE ISSUE WITH A SEXY GAY MAN - LIKE THEY THINK IF HE WERE STRAIGHT SOMEHOW HE WOULD WANT TO BE WITH THEM INSTEAD OF THE MAN HE PREFERS SO THEY SAY HE IS A WASTE OF A GOOD MAN. . . . GET OVER IT LADIES - DAMN. CHANCES ARE HE WOULD NEVER HAVE WANTED YOU IF HE WERE STRAIGHT. DUH. LMFAO. YOU GO DAVID. KIND OF HOW STRAIGHT MEN FEAR GAY MEN AND THINK JUST BEING GAY THAT THE GAY MAN MUST WANT TO SUCK HIS PENIS OR ASK THE STRAIGHT GUY TO BOOF HIM OR SOMETHING. SO FUNNY - REALLY TRUE THOUGH. STRAIGHT MEN GET REAL INSECURE AROUND GAY MEN OFTEN. AS IF A STRAIGHT MAN WOULD HAVE ANY FEMALE WITH A VAGINA - WELL SOME MIGHT BUT NOT ALL WOULD. STRAIGHT GUYS ARE THE WORST WHEN IT COMES TO BEING A TOTAL SLUT THOUGH ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY LOOK GOOD AND KNOW IT. . . WOMEN WILL THROW THEMSELVES AT HIM. . . IT IS NOT ALWAYS THAT FUN TO BE THE SEXY ONE. YOU GET HIT ON BY SO MANY OF BOTH SEXES AND REALLY WANT NONE OF THEM MOST TIMES. OR THE ONE YOU WANT IS JUST UNATTAINABLE. THE SINGLE LIFE AND REAL CONTENT SOLITUDE FROM TIME TO TIME AFTER A LIFE OF BEING A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY IS REALLY GRATIFYING AND REFRESHING AFTER ALL. I LIKE IT. WE DON NOT HAVE TO BE WITH ANOTHER PERSON TO BE HAPPY AND JUST BECAUSE A NICE LOOKING MAN IS SINGLE DOES NOT NECESSARILY ALWAYS MEAN HE;S GAY EITHER. SOME MEN LIKE BEING ALONE AT TIMES. WOMEN HOLD MEN BACK WHEN IN A CAREER AND TEND TO GET JEALOUS OF A MAN;S SUCCESS SAME WAY A MAN WOULD GET JEALOUS OF A WOMAN'S SUCCESS IF HE HAS NONE. . . SINGLE LIFE AVOIDS ALL THAT AND ALLOWS INDEPENDENT GROWTH WITHOUT A HOLD BACK OR GUILT. SAVES MONEY TO BE SINGLE TOO. MARRIED LIFE - WITH ANY OTHER PERSON - IS OVERRATED FOR DAMN SURE AND SEEMS AS THOUGH TI WOULD BE HORRIFIC TO ME. I SO RATHER THE COMPANY WHO LEAVES AFTER A VISIT. BYE NOW. LMFAO.

David Muir has to be the most clueless sycophant ever to disgrace the airwaves. ''Good evening ladies and gentleman Donald Trump...''

[@rancobb2163]

My dad thinks you are great except for your daily smear of President Trump. It seems to me that Trump is a good man that has done a lot of good things that you don't want to talk about. Why is that? Do you write all the bad stuff or does someone else write it and make you read it?
