That's sad, but he did have a long and successful career.

From what I've read, after 9-11 he started smoking like a motherfucker. That's messed up :(

:( Sad -- he may have had a long career, but 67 seems young to die today.

True, but that's because he had been smoking for most of his adult life until about 1981. The craving came back under the stress I guess.

But yeah, this sucks. He pwned at journalism.

He was my favorite anchorman. :(

At least he had a successful career, even though it had to end early. RIP, Mr. Jennings. :tissue:

Anyone remember that story he did 5 or 6 years ago about marijuana called "Pot of Gold"?

He must have been sampling everyone's stuff that he interviewed. The interviews would just pause for 5-10 seconds while him and the interviewee sat there with blank faces, like he forgot what he was talking about.

Sucks that he died :(
