Longtime NBC newsman Tom Brokaw, 73, is sharing some happy personal news.

He welcomed his first grandson on Monday.

His daughter, Sarah Brokaw, licensed therapist and author, gave birth to Archer Thomas Merritt Brokaw.

But take note: This isn't Tom's first grandchild. Little Archer just broke a family streak. Brokaw already has six granddaughters.
