Here’s the latest on Meet the Press hosts (as of April 2026):
- Kristen Welker has been the longtime moderator of Meet the Press since September 2023, continuing in that role into 2024 and 2025, with occasional phrasing about her return from leave in 2024. This aligns with NBC’s rollout of Welker as the program’s anchor through recent cycles.[2][5]
- Meet the Press Now, the daytime companion program, has featured rotating guest hosts and/Welker appeared prominently on that platform, especially during Welker’s absences.[4][2]
- The program’s hosting lineage includes historic transitions from Tom Brokaw and David Gregory in earlier years, with Welker representing the current, ongoing era as of 2026.[6][2]
Illustration: Meet the Press currency is anchored by Welker, with a broader NBC News ecosystem supporting the flagship and its spin-offs.[3][2]
If you’d like, I can pull up more recent articles or provide a quick timeline of all hosts since the show began, with citations.
