NBC News anchor Chuck Todd announced on Sunday that he will be resigning as the 12th moderator of Meet the Press "in the coming months" after hosting the weekly show for nine years.

"Kristen Welker, NBC News' co-chief White House correspondent, will succeed him," the network reported.

"It's been an amazing nearly decadelong run. I am really proud of what this team and I have built over the last decade," Todd said. "I've loved so much of this job, helping to explain America to Washington and explain Washington to America."

Per NBC, Todd added that "When I took over Meet the Press, it was a Sunday show that had a lot of people questioning whether it still could have a place in the modern media space. Well, I think we've answered that question and then some."

5. As I posted on another thread.

MTP standards dropped under Russert and only got worse with F. Chuck
MTP was pivotal in both Rove’s Florida Florida Florida framing and the lies that lead to the War on Iraq.

9. Kristin Welker is by far a BETTER interviewer.

She asks follow-up questions and does her homework as well.

Good luck to her in this post.

13. I don't want to criticize, but I think the quotes are around the wrong words.

They should be around “resignation.” They’ll have to redo the set to get rid of his fingernail marks from them dragging him, kicking and screaming, off the show.
