PoliticsAssociated PressChuck Todd leaving NBC political panel show 'Meet the Press' and being replaced by Kristen Welker
Chuck Todd said on Sunday that he'll be leaving “Meet the Press” after a tumultuous near-decade of moderating the NBC political panel show, to be replaced in the coming months by Kristen Welker.
