This clip aired on the final day that the honored ABC World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings ever appeared again on television (5th April 2005). This is the day Jennings went public that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer; sadly, he passed away that upcoming August, he never again was well enough to anchor the broadcast. Jennings was the best anchor in the history of American television news, and certainly one of the best journalists of all time; he shall be greatly missed.

@ericriverman i thought he was canadian american
I will always fondly remember my younger years sitting with my dad at 6:30 for Peter Jennings and World News Tonight. Whenever I think news or Peter Jennings, it is always remembered as a happy family time that could not have happened with any other anchor. RIP Mr. Jennings, the best news anchor that I ever had, or will have, the pleasure of watching. The news just isn’t the same without you.
Smokers are geniuses…..
And here was the end of 20+ years of great news coverage!
This man embodied everything that was good about journalism.
@irishbollix
He was a Canadian ya dumb mc. P.S. : The Girls here in the U.S. says Irish women have bigger dicks than the men.
i remembered the time i saw this
Peter Jennings was my favorite anchor and is greatly missed. RIP Peter.
RIP Peter!
this was 5 years ago today……..
He probably smoked some good weed before he took that dirt nap.
Peter Jennings would talk to you like a friend! and not a news anchor! I hope to be like him someday!

we refused jews into ireland during ww2, offered up condolences to the germans following the death of hitler and allowed high ranking NAZI to live in ireland following the war.
While he was brave in the face of lung cancer to paint reading reading from a teletext is as a major achievement is idiocy… Still most that posted here are American, which explains much…
god i miss real news with unbiased professional anchors.
Peter Jennings was one of the giants of Broadcasting news, back when being a Network Anchor actually meant something. His unflappable demeanor, intelligence and grace guided the nation through many of the major events of our times – the Challenger Shuttle disaster,
9-11, etc. A class act all the way.

gosh when he was on it was a great time to watch and hear his familiar voice every evening. Where those days go? Sorely missed (my dad’s favor anchor too…)
rest in peace. greatest journalist of our time.
I and my parents will miss him very much. It would have been better had Peter never ever smoked which obviously has been a factor for his death.
We’ll never forget you, Mr. Jennings.
It still breaks my heart to hear his voice that shaky. God damn. Rest in peace.
RIP sir always liked him.
