So Much For The 'Original Format' Idea --Nice try, Chuck

Tom Brokaw Appears Unhappy On 'Meet The Chuck'

Meet the Chuck aka Meet The Press has a new format and it is incredibly awkward. Despite its official name, Meet The Press, the guests don't actually Meet The Press. Instead, host Chuck Todd conducts the interviews while the panelists sit uselessly at a table in the background. Yesterday's show was notable because one of the panelists sitting at the table in the background while Todd was hogging the interviews, was the NBC news anchor for over 20 years, Tom Brokaw. So how did Brokaw like being relegated to being just another panelist in the background as Todd conducted his interviews? Well, judging from this video clip (and below) he wasn't pleased at all and expressed his displeasure by pointedly ignoring Todd when he returned to the "kiddies table" after his first interview.
