Brian Williams, the anchor of “NBC Nightly News,” will be the moderator of “Meet the Press” this Sunday, taking the place of Tim Russert, who died last Friday, NBC News said.
His guests will be Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, and Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., Democrat of Delaware, who were to have been Tim Russert’s guests last Sunday. NBC has not decided on a permanent replacement for Mr. Russert.

Only days after the sudden death of Tim Russert, NBC News now must find the person to replace him on Meet the Press, according to the New York Times.
“Nobody should even think about replacing Tim Russert,” Jeff Zucker tells the NY Times. “What someone will need to do is find the next way to do ‘Meet the Press’ and provide political analysis. Anybody who thinks they can replace Tim Russert is kidding themselves.”
The potential candidates for Meet the Press include Brian Williams, David Gregory, Andrea Mitchell, Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough and Keith Olbermann.
NBC could smooth the transition by offering the post on a temporary basis to Tom Brokaw, who stepped down as the network’s anchor in 2004. Katie Couric’s name has also been thrown in the mix.
