David Muir

David Muir is one of those rare TV anchors who actually makes you want to sit down and watch the evening news again. A Syracuse, New York kid who came up through local stations before landing at ABC, he took over World News Tonight from Diane Sawyer in 2014 and pretty quickly made the broadcast the most-watched evening newscast in America — which is no small feat in a world where everyone's supposedly cutting the cord. He has that combination of genuine gravitas and approachability that you just can't fake: he reports from war zones and disaster sites, but he doesn't come across as either detached or melodramatic. Ithaca College, not a fancy Ivy, which I kind of respect — he clearly got there on hustle and craft. He's private about his personal life, and honestly, in today's media landscape, that restraint itself feels like a statement.
