Kotb Remembers Russert

Kotb: I flew from New York to Washington. I’m in the airport, I’m waiting for my flight, and I’m sitting there. And this guy walks up to me, he’s in charge of the U.S. Air counter, and he says, “Hi, I’m Mario. My heart is broken about Tim.” And I said, “Thank you, we all are.” “Every time he came to the terminal he called me Super Mario!” And I said, “That ‘s so sweet.”
