As much as it might pain him to know this, David Gregory's star was falling long before NBC gave him the boot.

In a new documentary about the White House Correspondents’ Dinner called “Nerd Prom: Inside Washington’s Wildest Week” filmmaker Patrick Gavin was shooting as Capitol File magazine editors dismissed a cover feature on Gregory.

“What about David Gregory?” Capitol File associate publisher Meredith Merrill asks her colleagues in footage of an editorial meeting left on the cutting-room floor. “I’d love to get him on a cover.”

“He has no buzz,” publisher Suzy Jacobs shoots back. “I mean, I think he’s great, but his buzz is dead.”

Of course NBC replaced Gregory with Chuck Todd and as you can see there is SO MUCH buzz going on about Todd, you might think he was a bee keeper.

Ok...maybe not.
