David Gregory To Moderate "Meet The Press"



David Gregory will take the reins as moderator of NBC's "Meet the Press," the Huffington Post has learned. Gregory has been a leading contender for the permanent spot since Tom Brokaw stepped in as interim moderator following Tim Russert's death in June.

In recent weeks, a short list including Gregory, Andrea Michell, Gwen Ifill, and Chuck Todd had been considered the top candidates for the position, while Katie Couric and Ted Koppel were viewed as dark horses.

Brokaw will conclude his duties as interim moderator this weekend, when he will interview President-Elect Barack Obama.

NBC News did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

2. Jack Welch ALWAYS gets final say in who gets Meet the Press chair. He's the BFEE media fixer.

3. We saw that one coming a mile away, didn't we?
Now who's gonna get HIS show? Think he'll do both? Maybe that's why Joe S was sent to DC:)

Having HIM in DC and the rest in NYC, is not working all that well for Morning Joe..

Did Joe-dead-aide's family move to DC to be with him, or are they still in Pensacola??anyone know??

14. I damn sure don't give a damn who moderates it!
I used to watch it for years but got so tired of Timeh's obvious puke suckling that I quit looking. I used to halfway like David G. a few years ago but he became such a cynical asshole that I quite watching him. This just means I REALLY won't be watching MTP! :mad:

6. What a joke.

11. It's a real shame.
It used to be fun watching him go toe to toe with Snotty Scotty when he was press secretary. Back in those days, he actually questioned what * was up to and kept pressing. He and Helen Thomas could always be counted on not to let them get away with stuff.

Then, at some point, he decided his bread was better buttered on the other side. Don't know why, but he got co-opted. He hasn't been the same since he became a Solid Gold dancer for MC Rove.
