Update: Chuck Todd signed off of his final broadcast as moderator of NBC News’s Meet the Press by handing his successor, Kristen Welker, a reliable alarm clock and telling viewers that he’ll be focusing on network projects tied to bridging the political divide.
Welker appeared in the final minutes of Sunday’s show, with a montage of her asking hard-hitting questions at a presidential debate in 2020 and of other notable figures.
“You have left very big shoes to fill and I just want to make you proud,” Welker told Todd.
“I take this responsibility so seriously,” Welker said. “I am ready because you have helped me get ready, Chuck.
