David Gregory will be the next host of Meet the Press, according to reports. The NBC vet will take over after interim host Tom Brokaw interviews President-elect Barack Obama on this weekend's show.
Gregory, 38, has served as NBC's White House correspondent since 2000, and he currently hosts his own show on MSNBC.
Such is the power of Mary J. Blige that she can inspire even fuddy-duddies to get up and dance. Case and point: in an appearance on The Today Show a few months ago, white haired and suited journalist David Gregory (was he a guest that day?) put on his dancin' shoes and boogied down.
Tim Russert came into homes on Sunday mornings as host of Meet the Press and night after night during this election and so many before. His sudden and early death shocked us all on June 13.
Even from this side of the screen, Tim's love for his job, politics, and life was palpable, and Americans came to feel like they knew him.
