Chuck Todd opened his final broadcast as moderator of NBC News’s Meet the Press by telling viewers that it was an understatement to call the gig “an honor and privilege of my lifetime.”
“This is simply the pinnacle of political journalism, something my younger self never would have imagined,” said Todd, who announced in June that he was stepping down from the role.
“No matter how much of a grind that the current political climate is, wearing my down on any given day, I still always have had a ‘pinch me, I can’t believe it feeling every time I hear my name introduced as the moderator of the longest running show in the history of television.’ In fact, I used to joke my goal is not to be the last moderator of the longest running show in American history, and I have achieved that goal and then some.”
Kristen Welker will succeed Todd as moderator next week. When she does, all of the major networks’ Sunday morning shows will have a woman as moderator or co-moderator for the first time.
Todd’s final show featured California Governor Gavin Newsom and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) as guests. Todd noted that his sign off comes as both parties “find themselves at a crossroads.”
“Many leaders in both parties desperately want to start looking toward the future,” Todd said. “But as you know, both parties are stuck in the present, and voters are exhausted by it.”
Todd has been moderator of Meet the Press for nine years, having done more than 430 broadcasts. His announcement in June came amid speculation that a change was imminent, after David P. Gelles was hired as executive producer last year, succeeding John Reiss.
Todd will continue at the network as chief political analyst, and said in June that he planned to work on docuseries and

“The Continental,” subtitled somewhere in the marketing as, “From the World of John Wick,” is indeed what it advertises: a series that spins off from the kinetic assassins action-thriller franchise starring Keanu Reeves and now on its fourth installment, possibly going on a fifth. “John Wick” has its own intricate mythology filled with codes and currencies— the High Table, The Bowery King and The Bowery Boys, The Operators, Adjudicators, and of course, The Continental, the opulently noir-ish underworld assassin-friendly hotel where “No business can be conducted on the neutral premises.” Aka, you may be a contract killer, but you cannot kill within The Continental grounds, such is the strangely gallant “honor among thieves” conduct ideologies and rules the hotel and its murderous guests abide by.

“Hi, I’m gonna kill myself,” an 11-year-old girl proclaims to her mom over a pay phone in what is clearly an attention-getting gesture. Alarming as this may sound, it’s just part of the oddly arresting dynamics of Janet Planet, the distinctive first produced screenplay by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker, making her cinematic directorial debut. This is an off-beat film to say the least, one rippling with modestly turbulent undercurrents that are presented in such a way that make parent-offspring relations at least as amusing as they are serious. Beyond that, there is an unusual dramatic approach at play that partly turns its back on normal verbal interchange, one that embraces out-of-the-blue remarks and sidelong comments at the partial expense of conventional exposition and character development. The result is both disarming and odd, a film both lovely for its observational aptitude and at times mildly annoying in its smarty-pants conversational cleverness. Whatever else you can say, it’s an absolute original.
Kristen Welker’s Meet the Press debut was focused on her interview with former president Donald Trump, and their sit-down, his first with a major broadcast network since leaving office, was pretty much what you would expect.
