Brenda Buttner, the host of Fox News’ Bulls & Bears, has passed away at 55. Her longtime colleague Neil Cavuto reported on the tragic news this afternoon with a moving, emotional tribute to his friend and colleague.
Buttner had been battling cancer for a while and received lots of well-wishes from fans on Twitter.
“Let it be known,” Cavuto said, “that Brenda Buttner made us want to watch a business show with heart.”
He shared a a reel of highlights from Buttner’s long TV career––mostly fun and lighthearted moments––before saying this in closing:
“When is the last time––the last time you laughed at a business show? I don’t know. Business journalism is never gonna be the same. I just don’t know, now that she’s gone, whether we’ll ever be. Brenda Buttner. Gone way too soon at 55.”
Other colleagues of Buttner’s have taken to Twitter to express their condolences:
