Drew Weisholtz is a reporter for TODAY Digital, focusing on pop culture, nostalgia and trending stories. He has seen every episode of “Saved by the Bell” at least 50 times, longs to perfect the crane kick from “The Karate Kid” and performs stand-up comedy, while also cheering on the New York Yankees and New York Giants.
Richard Cohen, the husband of former TODAY anchor Meredith Vieira, died on Christmas Eve at the age of 76. Cohen lived with multiple sclerosis for more than 50 years and survived a pair of cancer diagnoses. He and Vieira were married 38 years and have three kids. Cohen was a veteran journalist who worked for CBS News. He was also diagnosed with MS at a young age. “I was diagnosed when I was 25 years old and essentially told there is no hope,” he said while appearing on TODAY with Vieira in 2018.
Cohen told Vieira about his diagnosis on their second date. “I told her about the illness, because I sort of learned the hard way to get it on the table. And she really didn’t blink,” he told Yahoo Life. Recalling that moment, Vieira told the outlet: “I’ve always been of the school of thought that you could get hit by a bus the next day, any one of us could. It certainly wasn’t enough to scare me off.” The couple had sons Ben and Gabe and daughter Lily.
