The Today Show has lost one of its own.

Anchors of the public news series regarded their previous floor chief, Mark Traub, on Wednesday after he died from Leukemia confusions the other day. He was 64.

Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie, Dylan Dreyer, Craig Melvin and Sheinelle Jones honored the stage chief of 35 years, who formally resigned from the situation in 2019.

We’re remembering Mark Traub, who was a member of our TODAY family for nearly 4 decades — the heart and soul of our show.

He passed away yesterday at 64 due to complications following an 18-month battle with leukemia.

“Despite the fact that we’re discussing the giggles that Mark Traub gave us over such countless years at Today, we really have exceptionally miserable news today about our companion Mark Traub,” Kotb, 58, said. “He was an individual from our Today family, he was our floor chief. He turned out here for almost forty years; the essence, truth be told, of our show,” she proceeded.

“He died yesterday at 64 years of age. He had difficulties following a 18-month fight with Leukemia.” Guthrie, 50, added some knowledge into Traub’s in the background work, specifying his beginning at NBC as a page to dealing with different shows, including dramas and Saturday Night Live. However, 35 of those years were spent working at Today.

“He was a world voyager, an eager peruser. He had a deep understanding of essentially everything. A film buff, a long lasting Yankees and Goliaths fan. So amusing,” said Guthrie.

“He was so liberal with his chuckle and he was so liberal with us all. Also, I need to say earlier today, our hearts are broken thus a considerable lot of our group, I know, their hearts are harming as well. Since he implied such a huge amount to us,” she added. “He was so given to us all in a manner that was so significant. Also, we wanted him. We wanted him.”

Indeed, even off-screen, Traub was recollected by the Today family. Al Roker — who has as of late been hospitalized with his own wellbeing battles and is right now not showing up on Today — posted a photograph of himself with Traub on Instagram Wednesday. “The giggle you generally heard behind the scenes for quite a long time on @todayshow was our stage chief, @mtraub2295 and when he resigned, a portion of our flash decreased,” Roker, 68, subtitled the image.

“Tragically, that light is pursued a long fight. Be careful, Mark. You are so missed.” Upon his retirement in 2019, Traub talked about how significant Today was to his life.

“This has been the main spot I’ve known as home for 66% of my life,” he said on an episode broadcasting in 2019. “My life’s fantasy worked out as expected when I was 21 years of age.

It’s recently been astounding to have the valuable chance to be essential for something so indispensable to this country as this show is.”

With respect to his retirement plans, Traub added: “I will figure out how to rest. What’s more, I will watch you folks consistently.”
