Peter Jennings has died. He was 67. Holy shit. I know he announced his lung cancer four months ago, but I couldn’t fathom that he’d actually die, or at least not nearly this soon. (But I put him on my celebrity death pool list anyway.)

I always found him the most watchable of the Big Three: Jennings, Rather and Brokaw (although Brokaw was a close second). Now Brokaw and Rather have left their posts, and Jennings – though he’d been on hiatus lately – is forever gone.

Rest in peace, Peter Jennings.
