Chuck Todd’s weeklong victory lap from scoring the Meet The Press hosting job took an extremely awkward turn Friday when the White House Press Secretary got bumped off camera for a Skype call with Savannah Guthrie.
Todd was visibly touched having Guthrie on, gazing longingly at his colleague.
The Skype call delay limited Todd’s and "Mama Guthrie’s" alleged witty banter, making the conversation borderline lecherous with Todd claiming that the first time he held Guthrie’s infant daughter was one of "his favorite days of the year." Todd being able to hold Guthrie’s daughter even superseded the day's previous news of him landing the Meet The Press gig, which is sure to thrill Guthrie’s own husband.
Take a moment today to think about Todd’s own children as they cope with this revelation and who won’t be able to watch Friday’s Nationals game because it's on past their bedtime.
