Meet the Press is an American television news interview program that began broadcasting on NBC in 1947, in which a moderator and panel of journalists question a single prominent guest, typically a political figure, on current events. Continuously broadcast since its debut, it holds the Guinness World Record for the longest-running television program in United States history. The program has featured recurring appearances by American presidents, senior officials, and foreign leaders across decades of American political history, and its Sunday-morning interview format became a template widely copied by competing network public affairs programs.
