Who will / should replace Russert on Meet The Press?

Question

I would like to see a panel again, including Pat Buchanan, Bill Press, and a few others. I don't think there is another "honest broker" out there like Russert... there will need to be a panel to achieve balance, in my opinion.

Answer 1

I think no one can replace Russert.  But, a new host yes.. I'm thinking that Chuck Todd won't have the pull for ratings. I'm wondering about David Gregory or possibly Richard Engel.

Maybe they would even consider Andrea Mitchell.

It has to be someone with gravitas, personable, but tough yet respectful.  Tom Brokaw is retired. I can't see him coming out of semi-retirement to permanently fill in.  I doubt a Bob Schieffer would switch networks.  I think Chris Matthews is probably too raucous for the Sunday morning crowd.

Answer 2

Jack Black.  Definitely Jack Black.

Answer 3

I would like Andrea Mitchell; I think she is due.

Answer 4

Maybe Tom Brokaw would come out of retirement for this election year.

Answer 5

I have been asking myself this question over and over again.  I just can't imagine anyone else in that position.
