Former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw will temporarily take over moderating duties on the Sunday morning news program Meet the Press.  Taking over the spot after the tragic early loss of the show’s host Tim Russert, who passed away at the age of 58 after suffering a massive heart attack.

“To have someone of Tom’s stature step up and dedicate himself to ensuring its ongoing success is not only a testament to his loyalty to Tim, but his enduring commitment to NBC News and our viewers,” said NBC News president Steve Capus in a statement.

Brokaw will host the show through the 2008 elections.
