Meet the Press is NBC’s longest-running news/talk show. It debuted on November 6, 1947, and has been on the air ever since. The show’s format has remained largely unchanged over the years: a panel of journalists interviews a prominent newsmaker, usually a politician.
Meet the Press has been hosted by a variety of journalists over the years. The first host was Lawrence Spivak, who hosted the show from 1947 to 1965. Other notable hosts include David Brinkley, Tim Russert, and Tom Brokaw.
