"The discipline and vigilance Gregory displayed in being careful never to say anything insightful or original about politics impressed the NBC higher-ups. And so, on December 7, 2008, a day that will not live in infamy (or any other kind of famy), it was announced that Gregory would be the full-time moderator of "Meet the Press." The first show with Gregory as moderator aired on December 14, 2008. The first show in which Gregory said something original will be on...well, don't hold your breath."
