Chuck Todd exits NBC after nearly 20 years
Chuck Todd, former moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” is leaving the network after nearly 20 years, reports CNN.
In an internal memo, states CNN, Todd thanked his longtime colleagues and said he has a “few new projects” in the works, “signaling a desire for a more entrepreneurial phase of his career. For that reason, he said he is leaving the network a number of months before his NBC contract was set to expire.”
Todd said NBC is allowing him to take his twice-a-week podcast franchise, “The ChuckToddcast,” to a new distributor.
For about a decade, D.C.-based Todd was one of the most prominent voices at NBC News, covering the political rise of Donald Trump and the Democratic response. He helmed “Meet the Press” from 2014 until 2023, when, after a management change atop NBC News, Todd stepped down and Kristen Welker took over his role.
