NBC’s Lester Holt Taught His Son Stefan How to Drive a Car as a Teen in the MSNBC Parking Lot

In the latest issue of Fete Lifestyle Magazine, Stefan, 37, opened up about how — and where — his famous father taught him how to drive a car as a teenager.

“We moved to New York when I was 13, and throughout high school I would wake up early on Saturday mornings to hang out with Dad at 30 Rock when he anchored Weekend Today,” he said.

Stefan, like his father, is a journalist. He currently serves as a news anchor for WMAQ-TV, the Chicago owned-and-operated station of NBC.

According to Stefan, he was never initially interested in “heading down the TV path” until he was in college at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.

“One afternoon in between classes, I was flipping channels in my dorm and landed on Channel 32, the campus TV station,” he told Fete Lifestyle Magazine. “I recognized one of my classmates anchoring the news. I thought to myself, ‘Hey I know all about TV stations. I could do that.’ ”

“Several days later, I signed up to work at the station. My first job was running cameras and floor directing,” Stefan added. “Eventually, I auditioned to be the anchor and got the gig. I was officially bitten by the news bug.”
