Chuck Todd is out at MSNBC

“There’s never a perfect time to leave a place that’s been a professional home for so long, but I’m pretty excited about a few new projects that are on the cusp of going from ‘pie in the sky’ to ‘near reality,’ Todd told NBC News staffers in a memo Friday. “So I’m grateful for the chance to get a jump start on my next chapter during this important moment.”

 

The “Chuck Toddcast” show he created and manages independently of NBC News would remain part of his repertoire, he added, so “stay tuned for an announcement about its new home soon.” Until he lands somewhere else, the former anchor plans “to continue to share my reporting and unique perspective of covering politics with data and history as important baselines in understanding where we were, where we are and where we’re going.”
