Who Will replace Tim Russert?

June 17th 2008 01:13
Many are already trying to figure out who will be the replacement for Tim Russert on "Meet the Press." I have some theories that I will present now.
1. Tom Brokaw: People trust him, they know him
2. Chris Wallace, personally mentored by Tim Russert, but he might still be a llttle too new for that responsibility. On the other hand, a fresh face could be a plus.
3. Chris Matthews: Too volitile and likes to step on his guests.
3. Keith O: No, not really.
4. Katie Couric: Interesting, provacative choice, but too sweet to take people down.
5. James and Mary: Now that would be drama with this husband and wife team. You'd be too busy watching them to pay attention to the interview.


Ok, that's all I can think of for now, but I think that it will be some time before a real host is chosen. Until then either, Tom Brokaw or a rotating host.

I could take Tom Brokaw. I've seen him on talk shows and the like and he's VERY smart--NOT just a news hound!

I think they will probably leave it for quite a while before choosing new host.

How is Chris Wallace too new? Considering he's been around since the 80's and even hosted Meet the Press in 1987-88, I disagree with your arguments... however, I believe he is under contract with Fox, which could prevent his contention for the slot.

How about Maria Shriver?

I do like James Carvelle though...but too opinionated. He has the passion and excitement.

Hmmm, how about Walter Cronkite? He is about the only one who could ask the tough questions without being rude and disrepectful! But, since I am sure that can't happen, I go with Brokaw. Good newsman, smart guy and can be tough without being a jerk! Will miss Mr. Russert, learned a great deal about politics by watching his show. Sunday morning will never be the same.

I'd go with Bob Costas...

I like Chris Wallace. That might be a decent choice. I also like Brokaw, but I'd have to think that at this stage of his life he'd want a less structured and less gruling schedule.

One thing you MUST do, though, is pick someone who's political position isn't written on his/her sleeve. That would disqualify Chris Matthews, David Gregory, and Britt Hume for example. Carville would be a circus even if accompanied by his sane wife. and I don't think NBC really wants to go the way of a "tag team" liberal/conservative route.

We just need Tim back...
