Chuck Scarborough 50th anniversary celebration takes him to ‘TODAY' and ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show'

NBC Universal, Inc.

Chuck Scarborough's 50th anniversary celebration continues Tuesday with appearances on the 'TODAY' show in Rockefeller Plaza and on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show.'

Chuck was up early to join the hosts of TODAY on the Plaza, next door to the home of WNBC at 30 Rock. You may not have known that Chuck did some work filling in as a newsreader on TODAY and even once filled in for Bryant Gumbel.

"I got to tell you the generosity in this man. The gentlemanliness and the generosity. When I first started in 1984, he could not have been nicer," said TODAY weathercaster Al Roker.

"We had a lot of fun," Chuck responded.

On Tuesday afternoon on NBC New York, Chuck appeared on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show.' The show is taped in Studio 6A, downstairs from WNBC's newsroom and next door to Studio 6B, the former studios of WNBC (now the home of 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon').
