Blair exits Today after 23 years on NBC program
Frank Blair, last original cast member of NBCs Today, leaves the show after 23 years. The 59 year old says he will take a break in Florida, pursue commercials and lectures, and work at his own pace away from the five day grind. Blair joined NBC in 1950 and helped launch the January 14 1952 two hour morning program with Dave Garroway and Jack Lescoulie. He notes the routine wore thin after decades of predawn starts.
