Chuck Todd announced that he will step down as moderator of Meet the Press in September and will be succeeded by Kristen Welker.
Todd has moderated the program since September 2014.
There already was speculation that there would be a change on the show, after David P. Gelles was hired as executive producer last year, succeeding John Reiss.
Todd said at the end of the show on Sunday, “It’s been an amazing nearly decade long run. I am really proud of what this team and I have built over the last decade. Frankly, the last 15 years, which also includes my time as political director. I’ve loved so much of this job, helping to explain America to Washington and explain Washington to America.”
Todd said that “the key to the survival of any of these media entities, including here at Meet the Press, is for leaders to not overstay their welcome.

As the world waits for Edward Snowden to emerge from his hideout at a Russian airport like some international fugitive version of Punxsutawney Phil, some celebrities are taking to Twitter and elsewhere to voice their support for the secrets leaker.
For those who aren’t following this thriller, it rivals anything at the box office this summer: The former Nsa contractor is holed up in the international transit zone in Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport waiting for a country such as Ecuador to grant him asylum. Russian President Vladimir Putin is defying the White House’s demand to return Snowden to the United States,...
