Earlier this week NBC announced that retired News Anchor- Tom Brokaw would fill in as Temporary Moderator for Meet the Press through the elections later this year.
I had predicted this move. Brokaw is the only person in the whole NBC organization that has the instant gravitas to pull this off- if indeed it can be done at all. He also has the unique ability to Honor Russert without getting overly maudlin.
I have a hard time imagining this show will ever be the same- and perhaps in should evolve. However, Tom Brokaw will be an excellent steward of the program Russert himself called ' a sacred trust.'
