Veteran NBC News anchor and chief political analyst Chuck Todd is leaving the network, TheWrap has learned.
“There’s never a perfect time to leave a place that’s been a professional home for so long, but I’m pretty excited about a few new projects that are on the cusp of going from ‘pie in the sky’ to ‘near reality,’” Todd said in a memo to staff obtained by TheWrap on Friday. “So I’m grateful for the chance to get a jump start on my next chapter during this important moment.”
His update comes a few weeks after Semafor reported the former “Meet the Press” host had been looking at different news outlets to join.
