The anchor and his wife are the proud parents of two sons, according to Good Housekeeping. Their first son, Stefan, was born in 1987 and has joined the family business so to speak, working as an anchor for NBC News in Chicago, per his Instagram.

Lester and Carol’s second son, Cameron, is a few years younger than Stefan, and works as a financial analyst in New York, per Heavy.

It turns out that their dad always made sure the boys kept up with current affairs. As Lester told Yahoo! Life in 2021, “When they were little we'd often sit around the dinner table and talk about things in the news and they always wanted my opinion and I would keep trying to push them back to really develop their own opinions and to understand all the things that go [into that].”
