The show has officially moved to MSNBC’s 1 p.m. ET time slot, but Sunday’s Meet the Press — which is also hosted by Chuck — remains unchanged.
When the 48-year-old took on the role of Meet the Press moderator in 2014, TV’s longest-running program was in bad shape. “I’m a custodian of this seat. It’s a privilege,” Chuck said at the time, but stressed that he didn’t want the show to end with him occupying the chair.
Over a span of three years, NBC’s former chief White House correspondent managed to get Meet the Press back up to No. 1 following a 43 percent drop in viewership during David Gregory’s tenure as host.
“There is no one with a bigger passion for politics than Chuck,” President of NBC News Deborah Turness stated after the father of two joined the MTP team. “His unique ability to deliver that passion with razor sharp analysis and infectious enthusiasm makes him the perfect next generation moderator of this beloved broadcast.”
She added, “Chuck will ensure that Meet the Press is the beating heart of politics, the place where newsmakers come to make news, where the agenda is set.” It sounds like weekends are his time to shine.
MTP Daily airs weekdays at 1 p.m. ET on MSNBC.
