Some of this is that Yamiche Alcindor has other roles to commit like her role at NBC News, MSNBC and an upcoming book.

Yamiche Alcindor, the veteran Washington correspondent who has moderated PBS’ “Washington Week” since the Spring of 2021. is stepping down from the show, according to a memo sent to staffers Monday.

Alcindor “has now decided to conclude her tenure with the program as she focuses full-time on her work at NBC and on her forthcoming book,” said Sharon Rockefeller, president and CEO of WETA, the Washington, D.C. PBS station that produces the program, in a memo. No replacement for Alcindor has been named as of yet.

Alcindor said via a Tweet Monday that she decided to leave the PBS role “after some very deep and meaningful conversations.” She joined NBC News in late December. She was just the ninth moderator in the program’s history, having succeeded Robert Costa.

At one time, the Washington Week host's role was a coveted gig. Paul Duke hosted for 20 years, Gwen Ifill for 17 years. Now it seems the hosts change fairly frequently. Robert Costa did it for four years, Alcindor for two.

She's talented, and I look forward to seeing her more often on MSNBC and on the Meet the Press panel.
