DAVID MUIR’S EPIC TIME 100 TRIUMPH! Sawyer’s Tribute Shocks Fans!
Muir, 51, has anchored World News Tonight since 2014, leading it to 8 million nightly viewers, per web:6. His reporting, including a 2022 interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and coverage of Madagascar’s climate-driven famine, raised $9 million for the World Food Programme, per web:8.
