Michael Douglas has a new role on TV five nights a week.

NBC chose the 63-year-old actor-producer as the announcer to introduce Brian Williams on the "Nightly News" each night. His recorded introduction was first heard Monday.

For 25 years, Howard Reig introduced the broadcast live each night, through the anchorships of John Chancellor and Tom Brokaw. Reig retired two years ago, but "Nightly News" had been using tapes of his voice ever since.
