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.”

Todd worked with NBC since 2007 as a political director, a month before his son was born, and he is now set to graduate high school this year. From 2014 to 2023, Todd hosted Meet the Press and then worked under the title of chief political analyst. On his podcast Saturday, Todd noted he would be moving to work in local news, which comes as little surprise to his listeners as he spent many episodes last year criticizing legacy media.
