The 51-year-old Todd told viewers Sunday he's ”watched too many friends and family let work consume them before it was too late.'
NEW YORK — Chuck Todd said on Sunday that he'll be leaving “Meet the Press” after a tumultuous near-decade of moderating the NBC political panel show, to be replaced in the coming months by Kristen Welker.
“I leave feeling concerned about this moment in history but reassured by the standards we've set here,” Todd said. “We didn't tolerate propagandists, and this network and program never will.” Now Welker, 46, will be thrust into what promises to be another contentious presidential election cycle. Todd said that he was proud of expanding the “Meet the Press” brand to a daily show, which initially aired on MSNBC but was shifted to streaming, along with podcasts and newsletters, even a film festival.
Todd was roasted at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in 2022 by Trevor Noah, who pointed him out in the audience and said, “How are you doing? I’d ask a follow-up, but I know you don’t know what those are.”“If you do this job seeking popularity, you are doing this job incorrectly,” he said. “I take the attacks from partisans as compliments. And I take the genuine compliments with a grain of salt when they come from partisans.
