On Meet the Press yesterday, newly minted host Chuck Todd interviewed Barack Obama.
It did not go well:
As he says, you’ve got to be on it, paying attention to every word. Watch him nail Chuck for missing four separate mentions of Syria before telling the President he hasn’t heard him mention Syria.
Chuck Todd has just sounded the death knell of his gig as a host.
I give him 6 months.
Hostility and criticism is one thing, but I do not think that NBC News can deal with his being a punch line.
It’s not gonna end when Letterman retires, because Stephen Colbert is replacing him.
It’s kind of like Joe Biden said, “There’s only three things he mentions in a sentence — a noun, a verb, and 9/11,” of Rudy Giuliani.
