After NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell filled in for the past two weekends, Todd will officially take over the NBC News show from the outgoing David Gregory, who served as moderator for six years.
Todd remains NBC News political director, even as he steps into this new role. However, he is stepping down as host of MSNBC’s “The Daily Rundown,” and as chief White House correspondent.
