NBC has decided that Tim Russert will not becoming back from the dead, so Cardinal Brokaw has anointed David Gregory to assume the mantle of responsibility for Meet the Press. Brokaw’s “pal” died of something, I forget what, and the Inside-the-Beltway mob has been wringing their hands over who was going to take over the Sunday morning entertainment. But they still are paying high tribute to the High-Preist-of-Sunday Tim. Gregory admits that he suckled at the teat of the great Tim Russert. He continues to suckle at Tom Brokaw’s. I was somewhat sad that he didn’t cry when he mentioned his beautiful wife, the ... Read Full Story

NBC's Tom Brokaw never claimed he was retiring when he left "Nightly News" after the 2004 election. Yet he's been almost as visible on TV as he was before. Brokaw has signed on for a USA Network project that will have him traveling along U.S. Highway 50 in the coming months, reporting on the economic crisis and Americans' reaction to the first year of the Obama administration. This is after filling in on NBC's "Meet the Press" for half of last year following Tim Russert's death, and frequently appearing alongside Brian Williams during coverage of high-profile events. The USA project will culminate in a ... Read Full Story

NBC made a great decision in announcing that former Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw would take over the host duties of Meet the Press through November. It makes tons of sense.  Brokaw was very close to Russert, and the MTP staff greatly respects his judgement.  Moreover, he brings a certain gravitas and star-power that few others on network television enjoy.  And he's mostly seen as objective and non-partisan, something that couldn't be said for others under consideration -- most notably Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews. Most importantly, it gives NBC five months to find a permanent successor.   My guess is that it will still come ... Read Full Story

In what I'm sure will be a tastefully produced program, Meet The Press will pay tribute to the late Tim Russert tomorrow. NBC News has asked Tom Brokaw to host the special episode, but he won't be taking Russert's chair. Rather, the moderator chair will be left empty. Brokaw will speak with friends of the late host Maria Shriver , James Carville , Mary Matalin and other behind-the-scenes friends. Russert was the longest-running moderator for MTP ; he began hosting in December 1991. He passed away Friday after collapsing from a heart attack while voicing portions of this week's program.
