"Two months ago, I had cancer surgery," he explained. "They opened up my chest. They took a malignant tumor and they took a part of my lung and some other goodies."
Wow...can you imagine going through all that and still being on television 2 months later. I would still be in bed enjoying my bountiful meds without guilt.

I hate when he wears his grandpa glasses at the tip of his nose when he's interviewing someone.

How very sad. I hope he recovers quickly.

Side note, my parents were interviewed several years ago on the Early Show and my Mom says he wears a ton of makeup and he was very standoffish except of course when the camera came on. I still wish him the best though regardless of his personality. Cancer is very scary.

He and Jane Pauley made an awesome couple on the morning tv scene for years - I have really missed watching them. I hope the cancer is all gone now and he makes a full recovery

I wondered whether he was a smoker or not and all I could google was that he smoked cigars. Cigars? I didn't think those were inhaled.
Scary stuff man. I smoked for 25 years and get terrified when I see this. Peter Jennings. They almost never catch it till its too late. I wonder what tipped him off?

True about his personality, and true about the cigars.

Still, he is a great broadcaster. I hope he gets well soon.
