TV Guide's Stephen Battaglio has posted a funny Q&A with NBC News' political director, Chuck Todd.

Sample question: "Do you think you'll soon reach a point where you'll be contractually obligated to keep the facial hair?"

At one point, Mr. Todd admits to Mr. Battaglio that there is one job in television which he desperately covets.

Spoiler alert: It's not the job of moderating Meet the Press.

"I would probably quit my job tomorrow," says Mr. Todd, "if somebody asked me to be the play-by-play guy for University of Miami college football."
