Alisyn Camerota is receiving strong support from friends and colleagues as she makes her return to CNN following the loss of her husband. In September 2024, she announced the passing of Tim Lewis due to pancreatic cancer, similar to Alex Trebek, which he battled for two years before he died on July 27th. In an Instagram post, she shared, “My beloved and extraordinary husband Tim passed away… I cannot imagine any human being soldiering through a devastating diagnosis with more humor, humility and bravery…” She expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and support she received while also stating she plans to return to work soon.
Camerota has spent a decade with CNN during her 30-year career and returned to her job in October. In a video posted on Instagram, she shared her first day back at the studio, humorously noting, “If it’s this dark out, and I’m in a suit, that can only mean one thing, and that is, yes, I’m going back to work today.”
She referred to her return as “like riding a bike,” and expressed hope that her co-anchor, Boris Sanchez, understood what to expect, showcasing her determination to embrace life after her personal loss. The response from her community was overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic.
