The world's longest-running TV show is a news and current affairs program called Meet the Press, which first aired in the United States in November 1947. The show was created by journalist Martha Rountree, and has since become an institution in American political journalism, featuring interviews with prominent politicians and newsmakers.

Meet the Press has aired continuously every Sunday morning on NBC, making it the longest-running TV show in the world by a significant margin. Over the years, the show has featured numerous moderators and undergone many format changes, but its core mission of providing a platform for informed discussion and debate has remained the same.
