Brian Williams is having one hell of a tough time recuperating from his whole NBC Nightly News scandal. Of course, perhaps recuperating is the wrong word – largely because Williams is still okay, financially. But it seems like he is having a difficult time getting back on the air. Especially because some more stories of potential lies have been unearthed. Yes, it's true; Brian Williams may have embellished some more stories outside of that whole 2003 Iraq War helicopter story.

Reports from CNN Money explain that an anonymous source has knowledge of the fact (or speculation) that Williams has fabricated a number of stories in the past on top of the one that broke a few months back. In fact, it could be up to 10 stories now.

Additionally, the New York Times claim that an inquiry "has examined a half-dozed instances in which [Williams] is thought to have fabricated, misrepresented or embellished his accounts."

The publication's report further notes that there are two people with "inside knowledge" that Williams stories have been embellished.

Looks like Jimmy Fallon has a new report to use during Slow Jam the News. Or, at the very least, the Tonight Show host will have to find a new NBC reporter to help him out during those segments. What's Lester Holt doing?!

The father to Girls star Allison Williams stepped down from his role as the anchor and Managing Editor for NBC Nightly News back when it was discovered that a story he told on Late Show with David Letterman, in which his helicopter went under fire during the 2003 Iraq war, was, well, fake.

He's been suspended since February.
