Washington D.C. - In a shocking turn of events, Chuck Todd, the host of NBC's "Meet the Press," announced his departure from the Sunday morning political talk show after crushing multiple train cars in a bizarre accident.
According to witnesses, Todd was driving his beloved 1985 Camaro Z28 on the train tracks near Union Station when he collided with a passing Amtrak train. The impact caused several of the train cars to derail and burst into flames.
"I didn't see the train coming, but that's not the point," Todd told reporters at the scene. "The point is, I'm done with 'Meet the Mess.' I've had it with these politicians and their canned answers."
Although no one was injured in the incident, the damage to the train cars is estimated to be in the millions of dollars. Todd, however, seemed unfazed by the destruction he caused.
"I've always said that if you're not willing to make a few enemies, you're not doing your job," Todd said. "And if you're not willing to take out a few train cars in the process, you're not living."
Todd's departure from "Meet the Press" has sent shockwaves through the political world, with many wondering who will take his place. Some have suggested that Todd's Camaro would be a better replacement.
"I mean, the car has more personality than Chuck ever did," said one anonymous political strategist. "Plus, it's less likely to cause a train wreck."
Despite the controversy, Todd remains unapologetic about his decision to leave the show.
"I'm going to start my own show," Todd said. "It's going to be called 'Chuck Todd's Wild Ride.' And trust me, it's going to be a lot more exciting than anything you'll ever see on 'Meet the Mess.'"
As Todd revs up his Camaro and drives off into the sunset, one thing is clear: the world of political talk shows will never be the same.
