Bottom Line: The Huffington Post is reporting that David Gregory will take over as host of "Meet the Press." 12-02-2008 DAVID GREGORY TO MODERATE 'MEET THE PRESS' David Gregory will take the reins as moderator of NBC's "Meet the Press," the Huffington Post has learned. Gregory has been a leading contender for the permanent spot since Tom Brokaw stepped in as interim moderator following Tim Russert's death in June. In recent weeks, a short list including Gregory, Andrea Michell, Gwen Ifill, and Chuck Todd had been considered the top candidates for the position, while Katie Couric and Ted Koppel were viewed as dark horses. Brokaw will conclude his duties as interim moderator this weekend, when he will interview President-Elect Barack Obama. NBC News did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
