"He's one of the rookies of the year," said NBC News President Steve Capus. "Here's a man at the worst possible time in his life who stepped into the spotlight with great poise, strength and a sense of humor, with a love of politics and a love for NBC.
"Everybody in the political world knows Luke Russert," Capus said."They knew him before (his father's death) and they know him after it. Here is a guy who is going to get his calls returned."

That's funny, because Luke Russert, last anyone checked in, sort of floundered his way around interviews on Nightly News, and spent a lot of time trying to think of what his father would say in a situation.
If a famous dad and an inferiority complex were all the requirements needed to be named NBC's rookie of the year, than why hasn't Rumer Willis stepped up to the plate yet?

"If a famous dad and an inferiority complex were all the requirements needed…"
Hell, he might as well run for president. I heard he ran a kool-aid stand once when he was 12. That's more executive experience than Obama will ever have.
This seemed a little too dickish, even by Jossip standards.
I watched his interviews on MSNBC during both conventions. He was terrible. It seemed like he just wasn't ready to be covering something as big as news on a national level. I've heard that his XM radio sport program is ok. Perhaps he should have stayed with he radio show …
Yes, young Luke cannot feel the force.
An NBC News Executive capable of breathing through his nose and modest thought would surely sent him back to Aunt Baru and Uncle Owen on Tatooine.
