For more than 60 years, Meet the Press has featured headline-making interviews with world leaders and U.S. newsmakers. Now it offers a chance to extend the Sunday-morning experience with a feature-laden app for your Android device.

As you might expect, the Meet the Press app is full of video clips. The depth of the collection is impressive, as is the care with which it is organized.

There are sections devoted to the show's headliners and to its popular Roundtable segments, with a full month's worth of clips in each. There's also a section devoted specifically to highlights from the most recent show, along with host David Gregory's post-show commentary and preview of upcoming shows.

There's more. Take Two is devoted to video from the post-show productions on the Meet the Press website. Content can range from a conversation with Sen. John McCain's mom on Mother's Day, to expanded roundtables on the top news of the day, to guest's answers to viewers' questions.

Also, complete video and audio podcasts of the most recent show are available with the tap of a finger.

Perhaps the richest resource is the Trivia Clips section. Here you'll find video from the show's 60-year history. Richard Nixon, running for president in 1960. Bob Dole discussing U.S. Senate politics in 1984. Even longtime host Lawrence Spivak's farewell in 1975.

The Meet the Press app offers multiple ways to get more out of the show. A handy This Sunday listing lets you know who's appearing next, with pertinent Web links for each guest. MTP on Twitter carries tweets from Gregory and from Executive Producer Betsy Fischer, who conducts a weekly broadcast-themed trivia contest (winners get Meet the Press swag). And Ask MTP offers a quick and easy way to e-mail the show with your questions and comments.

Meet the Press is America's No. 1 Sunday morning public affairs broadcast, and is the longest-running television program in the world, debuting on NBC-TV on Nov. 6, 1947. Established as a half-hour program, Meet the Press expanded to one hour on Sept. 20. 1992. The current format consists of one to three interviews per show.

Every Sunday morning, millions of Americans tune in to get answers from U.S. and world leaders, and to hear analysis, discussion, and review of the week's political events from noted journalists and experts.
