He was working at the ad agency of Young and Rubicam when he was hired by NBC as vice president in charge of television in 1949, eventually becoming president and then chairman of the board before resigning in 1956. While at NBC Weaver made innovative changes to the way the network programmed its shows and sold advertising and played a large role in the development of many influential shows including the Tonight Show and the Today Show, among many others.
