Latest News About Meet The Press Hosts

Here’s the latest on Meet the Press hosts:

• Kristen Welker has been the defining moderator of the flagship Meet the Press since September 2023, with periodic hosting duties for related programs like Meet the Press NOW, including a month-long leave in 2024 when Peter Alexander covered during Welker’s absence. This aligns with her ongoing role as the primary moderator for the main Sunday program.[1]
• In the broader NBC News ecosystem, Meet the Press NOW features rotating guest hosts and weekday coverage, with Welker anchoring the Sunday Meet the Press program and continuing to appear across NBC News platforms; this arrangement persisted into 2025–2026 as the network expanded its digital and streaming coverage.[2][3]
• Updates in late 2025 and early 2026 continued to position Welker as the face of Meet the Press while NBC experimented with companion formats and interviews across NBC News NOW and related channels; podcasts and clips from the program remained available on major platforms.[6][7]
