The New York Post’s Page Six reports today that David Gregory could be replaced as moderator of Meet the Press shortly after the November election.
Rumors have been swirling for months about Gregory’s future at Meet the Press, as the ratings have sunk by 45 percent since he took over from the late Tim Russert in 2008. Gregory has turned Russert’s decade-long run at number one into a perennial third-place finish among Sunday morning talk shows.
The Post reported that while NBC News President Deborah Turness is publicly supportive of Gregory, she is seriously concerned about the ratings problems. The Post cites a source who told them that the discussion about Gregory is whether to replace him before the elections or after, giving a new moderator time to settle in.
If Gregory were to get the boot, the most likely successor is NBC Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd, with Joe Scarborough and Savannah Guthrie as remote possibilities.

David Gregory in a perfect world is the guy picking up dog pooh at your local park.
Gregory just isn’t bat-sh!t crazy enough for the loony left.
CHUCK TODD?????? LOL!! Go for it, NBC.
They aren't relevant in the 25 to 54 age group. Out of the 2.7M viewers of MTP less than 700K viewers are in the critical 25-54 age group. Even young lefties don't watch this crap..
Brit Hume would make a great host and I bet he would bring ratings up around the Tim Russert level.
My bet is on Chelsea Clinton....................
If Chels gets the job, that probably means Hillary is done as far as 2016. Could be an interesting indicator.
Who are they going to replace him with Candy Crowley? They are all from the same club.
