In an internal email sent to employees, NBC News president of editorial Rebecca Blumenstein and senior vice-president of politics Carrie Budoff Brown praised Todd for his “thoughtful and passionate leadership”. Kristen Welker will be the new host on Meet the Press. Todd has interviewed a slew of notable figures, including Vice-President Kamala Harris, former vice-president Mike Pence and former Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, who infamously used the phrase “alternative facts” on the show. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t wake up before 5 or 6am, and as I’ve watched too many friends and family let work consume them before it was too late, I promised my family I wouldn’t do that,” he added.Īs the longest-running show on US television, Meet the Press marked its 75th anniversary last year with Todd being its 12th host after he took over from former host David Gregory in 2014. “I’ve let work consume me for nearly 30 years. He explained that he was aware that many leaders tend to “overstay their welcome” and that he would prefer to leave a “little bit too soon than stay a tad too long”. Well, I think we’ve answered that question and then some.” Todd went on to add: “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. “I’ve loved so much of this job, helping to explain America to Washington and explain Washington to America,” he said.
