A quick glance at Cameron Limes’s Twitter account shows the recent Edward R.
In July, Limes posted a photo after Holt gave him a personal tour of NBC studios in New York City.
Limes, from Tacoma, Washington, was a junior majoring in broadcast news when he heard Murrow College would be honoring Holt with a lifetime achievement award at its 2020 spring symposium.
College leadership canceled the 2020 symposium due to the pandemic, giving Limes a year to successfully refine his interview pitch.
Two months after the symposium, Holt flew to Seattle to interview an Alaska Airlines executive, who happened to be Limes’ dad’s boss.
They could frame the shot and lighting on me so there wouldn’t be a glare on Lester when he came in.
He showed me the ‘Saturday Night Live’ studio and I got to talk to a couple of people.
He said he waited every day for four months, wondering each day if he would hear from NBC.
Pinkleton said that what sets Limes apart is his determination to go after what he’s interested in pursuing as a career.
“Whenever he would come to me for advice or criticism, he never wanted me to hold back, and I gave it to him.
Now Limes works at NBC logging interviews, meaning he watches interviews and records time codes to note who said what, and when.
Limes co-founded the Stand-Up Comedy Club in Pullman several years ago so he would have a convenient place to practice his routine.
