Sunday’s Plan for Meet the Press
Although plans for Meet the Press’ future is still unclear, NBC has announced how it will address Tim Russert’s recent passing on tomorrow’s show.
This Sunday, veteran journalist Tom Brokaw will make another special appearance to helm the weekly program. (The former Nightly News anchor was also the one who informed the viewers Friday about his colleague’s death.) During the Father’s Day edition, Brokaw will spend the hour paying tribute to the highly-respected political analyst.
On a side note, Russert’s personal physician, Dr. Michael Newman, confirmed that his patient died as a result of a heart attack. Ironically, the 58-year-old - who was known “to have asymptomatic coronary artery disease” - reportedly passed a stress test back in April and even worked out on a treadmill earlier Friday morning.
