Tom Brokaw Will Host "Meet the Press"
NBC moved quickly to stanch speculation about who would succeed Tim Russert as moderator of
Meet the Press, announcing Sunday that Tom Brokaw, former anchor of
NBC Nightly News, would fill the role for the rest of this election year. The president of NBC News said “when Tom proposed this idea, we jumped at it,” adding: “It was a huge relief. It offers us some time.”

I'm at a loss this morning, in the span of time usually devoted to coffee and Tim Russert on Meet the Press,
his absence is deafening. This morning, in lieu of the regular show, they're running a tribute to Russert. The long-running show began in 1947, and Russert has helmed the ship since I can remember.
I couldn't be more sad
to report that Tim Russert of NBC's Meet the Press has died of a heart attack. The New York Times reports they heard the news from Russert's family.
Upon announcing the news, Tom Brokaw said, “this news division will not be the same without his strong, clear voice.” Russert is survived by his wife Maureen Orth and their adult son, Luke.
