Meet the Press
Created by Martha Rountree, Lawrence E. Spivak
On NBC
A long-running, ideas-driven political interview program built on adversarial questioning and the parsing of public statements, where tension comes from rhetorical sparring rather than narrative stakes.
Meet the Press is a weekly American television news/interview program airing on NBC. It is the longest-running television series in American broadcasting history, despite bearing little resemblance to the original format of the program seen in its television debut on November 6, 1947. Meet the Press is the highest-rated of the American television Sunday morning talk shows. It has been hosted by 11 moderators, beginning with Martha Rountree. Meet the Press and similar shows specialize in interviewing national leaders on issues of politics, economics, foreign policy and other public affairs.
