'MTP' Moderator Chair To Remain Empty This Sunday

In what I'm sure will be a tastefully produced program, Meet The Press will pay tribute to the late Tim Russert tomorrow. NBC News has asked Tom Brokaw to host the special episode, but he won't be taking Russert's chair. Rather, the moderator chair will be left empty.

Brokaw will speak with friends of the late host Maria Shriver, James Carville, Mary Matalin and other behind-the-scenes friends. Russert was the longest-running moderator for MTP; he began hosting in December 1991. He passed away Friday after collapsing from a heart attack while voicing portions of this week's program.
