"The Law & Order' legacy would have been enough to set him apart from all the rest, but the Chicago franchise now kicks him into the stratosphere. He has been a defining voice of NBC for over a generation, and he is most welcome at this company forever."

Wolf also spoke about his enduring relationship with NBC and working with Greenblatt.

"I've been in the same office, with the same phone number, for 30 years. I'm glad people won't have to learn a new one," Wolf said. "Staying was really a foregone conclusion. My partnership with Bob has been the best relationship I've ever had with the head of a network."

The next episode of season 17 of Law & Order: SVU, titled 'Forty-one Witnesses,' is set to air on February 3 on NBC.
