Beloved colleague joined Fox News at its launch in 1996
Fox News Senior Vice President of News & Politics Alan Komissaroff died on Friday after suffering a heart attack at his home earlier this month. He was 47 years old.
"This is an extremely difficult day for all of us who worked closely with Alan, and we are completely heartbroken," FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and FOX News Media President Jay Wallace wrote in a memo to colleagues.
"Alan was a leader and mentor throughout FOX News Media who was integral to our daily news operations and played an indispensable role in every election cycle. The recent midterm election coverage was easily one of the finest nights of special coverage he produced throughout his career. And he was the ultimate producer: breaking news, politics, special events — there was no steadier or more trusted colleague to be with in the control room during the most consequential events of our time, and his incisiveness and passion for news made our work better," Scott and Wallace wrote.
Komissaroff was a proud "FOX News original," having started at the network when FNC launched in 1996. It was his first job after college.
"He would joke that he was a guy from ‘real Brooklyn’ and rose through the ranks to become a writer, producer, showrunner and eventually Senior Vice President of News & Politics, overseeing all political coverage," Scott and Wallace wrote. "His sharp sense of humor and quick wit throughout his incredible career also led to the many lifelong friendships he made here."

let me remind everybody that Dick Cheney who they didnt think could live long enough to run as bushie's Vp is still alive and kicking after multiple stents placed and a long long history of heart trouble....he ran as vp in 2000 and 22 yrs later he's still here...
and yet here we have another one....
But did he know Eddie Munster...
47 seems really young for death by heart attack.
Agree and which is one of the side effects from the jabs.
Vaccines seem to be having effects on athletes' hearts these days.
The family has raised 100k on a gofundme. Didn’t he have life insurance?
Is this normal?
FOX was a trail blazer... took courage in the early years. Prayers for his family and loved ones.
Did it say what the 100k was to be used for?
Cheney didn’t volunteer to have auto-regenerating sluge injected into his veins in the name of politics...
I looked further. The kids college. I get it. But, the guy was a VP, an executive. Didn’t he have a lot of $. Life insurance, investments. Not used to seeing a go fund me for someone in that category.
Agreed. I have a friend whose son passed away at 18. Another friend started a GoFundMe for the family that asked for $50,000.00 for funeral expenses. I thought that was incredibly tacky.
An executive at Fox for 27 years and the family needs a GoFundMe? WTH?
Sean Hannity donated 10k. I think it’s super odd.
Their silence on 2020 is both telling and deafening.
It’s commonly called greed.
He would have been 100 years old this May.
And the details on the gofundme said that he was exercising on Jan 8 and went upstairs to tell his wife he felt sick. If this is vaxx related, WHEN are the families left behind going to speak out?
It seems like they have been left destitute. But for the life of me, how could a Fox News executive not make enough to provide for his family and have savings/retirement/life insurance accounts that should leave them comfortable? Did the guy have a secret gambling problem?
My father had his first/only heart attack at age 47 and instantly died from it in 1970. He would have been 100 on Feb. 3rd.
