Advertise on Before & After with Lester Holt

Before and After is a deeply personal interview series hosted by Lester Holt about the moments that divide a life into the before and after. In each episode, Lester sits down with a household name or someone whose extraordinary story has never been widely known, each transformed in an instant by violence, survival, loss, injustice or an unexpected turn of fate. The conversations begin with what happened, but the series is ultimately about what followed: how people absorb the unimaginable, rebuild their lives and find meaning in the aftermath.
