Apparently Ruckeyser had cancer in his lower back. It seems that he had intended to come back to his CNBC program but ran into some medical complications. I have structured my life so that it is Cramer-free, though I have to admit that I enjoyed his autobiography.

Veteran financial journalist Louis Rukeyser retires

Veteran financial journalist Louis Rukeyser, who has been off television for a year due to cancer, has asked CNBC to pull the plug on his long-running Friday night business news show.

CNBC said "Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street," which has been airing with Consuelo Mack as substitute host, will cease production by the end of the year.

Rukeyser, 71, announced earlier this year that he had cancer in his lower back and said last week complications had developed. "I can no longer predict when I will be ready to rejoin you here," he said. Rukeyser lasted 32 years on the show, which started long before business news became popular.

Most of that time it was on PBS, before the network fired him in 2002 in an attempt to update its format. Rukeyser shifted to CNBC and -- to get back at his former employers -- arranged to have his new show also aired on PBS stations.
