Chuck Todd begins his new role as moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press” next week, and the network gave him a personal, in-depth welcome at the end of the show on Sunday.

“He’s relentless. He’s like a dog with a bone,” Andrea Mitchell, who has been standing in as “Meet the Press” anchor, said of Todd.
