Allison Williams (Girls) was cast in NBC’s upcoming live Peter Pan musical. She’ll play Peter Pan. Williams, of course, is the daughter of NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams who reported on the casting last night.
He managed to contain his little girl shrieks on the inside and gave a professional report saying, ‘”Family members confirm that she’s been rehearsing for this role since the age of three and they look forward to seeing her fly.”
I think we would have been talking about this the same way even if Brian Williams started screeching and furiously fanning himself in excitement like he should have.
