As MSNBC debuts new programming by former Biden administration officials, Chuck Todd has been farmed out to NBC’s streaming service.
Todd’s “Meet The Press Daily,” which two years ago was bounced from a 5 p.m. time slot to 1 p.m., went to 4 p.m. on NBC News NOW on a show called “Meet the Press NOW,” according to Deadline.
The Daily Beast characterized the shift as Todd being “shuffled down the line at MSNBC.”
Todd’s new show began June 6.
As noted by Variety. Todd’s exit comes as the network adds new talent that leaped from the Biden White House.
On May 7, Symone Sanders debuted her new program. Sanders was the spokeswoman for Vice President Kamala Harris before fleeing Harris’s office.
MSNBC also will be making room for former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Variety wrote, who was expected to join the network as a political analyst.

Writing about the change for Outkick, Bobby Burack said too many probing questions to the wrong people greased the skids for Todd to be moved.
“Todd is hardly conservative, but he does ask tough questions while interviewing Democratic politicians. Todd didn’t get the memo that doing so is no longer allowed. His Sunday morning counterpart George Stephanopoulos is following this rule dutifully on ABC,” he wrote.
