Meet the Press generates more Monday morning headlines than any other public affairs program. Since President Kennedy, every man who has occupied the Oval Office has appeared on Meet the Press during his political career. Chuck Todd is moderator of Meet The Press on NBC and is also NBC News’ political director and servers as on-air political analyst for Nightly News with Lester Holt and TODAY. In addition to his on-air analysis, Todd is responsible for all aspects of the network’s political coverage. He is also the editor of First Read, NBC’s must-read guide to political news. Before joining NBC News, Todd was the editor-in-chief of the National Journal’s The Hotline, Washington’s premier daily briefing on American politics. In his 15 years of working at The Hotline or one of its affiliates, Todd became one of Washington’s foremost experts on political campaigns of all levels.
