Former NBC News host and analyst Chuck Todd teased his next project after leaving the network, implying it was “a bit earlier than frankly we had all originally planned.”

Chuck Todd, former moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” is leaving the network after nearly 20 years.

He joined NBC News as political director in 2007 and was “Meet the Press” moderator from 2014 to 2023, before giving way to Kristen Welker. The role made him one of the more visible journalists in Washington and, as such, an occasional target of President Donald Trump and his supporters.
