Russert, 58, was a political operative before he was a journalist. He joined NBC a quarter century ago and ended up as the longest-tenured host of the Sunday talk show “Meet the Press.”

His former colleague and former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw came on air at 3:39 p.m. to pay tribute to his late friend.

“Our beloved colleague…was one of the premier journalists of our time,” Tom said. “This news division will not be the same without his strong, clear voice.”

Russert was also a senior vice president at NBC, and this year Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

“There wasn’t a better interviewer in television,” Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential contender, told reporters in Ohio.

Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, Obama’s rival for the White House, hailed Russert as the “pre-eminent journalist of his generation.”

He was married to Maureen Orth, a writer for Vanity Fair magazine. The couple had one son, Luke.
