todd_6-18.JPGYesterday's FishbowlDC/TVNewser poll asked readers for "your pick for next 'Meet' host."

In second place was Tom Brokaw (19%), with Gwen Ifill finishing 3rd (16%) and David Gregory in 4th (14%).

FishbowlDC hears from an media source Brokaw is the frontrunner, with former Newsweek editor and current NBC News VP Mark Whitaker as a bureau chief possibility.

TVNewser (and FishbowlDC) received hundreds of tips about other choices for MTP moderator.
