biography
One of the top anchors of ABC news programming, Forrest Sawyer is familiar to audiences not only as the substitute host for Ted Koppel on "Nightline" but also as anchor of "World News Sunday" from 1989-1993, and as one of the hosts of the newsmagazines "Day One" (1993-1995) and "Turning Point", which premiered in 1994 as a weekly and became occasional specials.
