Been crying about this on and off all weekend. It seems so surreal....it is like losing a family member that was a favorite. Sam Rubin was a KTLA staple that everyone who was born and raised in Los Angeles grew up watching him. His son's tribute to him was absolutely beautiful and moving. RIP Sam Rubin....you are and will be so missed.

Sam was a dear friend from my days at KTVU and as a freelance political analyst at KTLA over the years! And he was Barack Obama’s college roommate at Occidental. Quite a legacy…

Still seems unreal that you are gone Sam. Family friend who grew up to become a shining light in the entertainment world. From curly-haired little Sammy to an icon of morning TV and beyond🌟🌟🌟

I can’t believe it! I was his intern in 1998. Super great personality. I grew up watching him and was honored to intern for him and the KTLA producing team. Will miss seeing you every morning.
