One of the most recognizable faces at NBC News is departing after nearly two decades on the desk, a sign that the once-robust mainstream news network, like many of its peers, has fallen on harder times and less relevance than ever.
Chuck Todd, the longtime host of “Meet the Press” who has mostly been off the air since 2023, has told colleagues about his departure, which will end an era of Sunday news. Todd was replaced that year by Kristen Welker after serving in his role for nine years.
According to insiders who spoke with the outlet, Todd has been actively courting other employers in the media landscape after his contract expired toward the end of 2024.
