Mr. O’Brien praised Mr. Russert by saying, "From the moment I met him, he put me at ease. I always told him countless times, he reminded me of my Irish Catholic uncles: Big head"—here he gestured to indicate he meant big in size, not in self-regard— "big laugh, huge heart."

Hulu also hosts The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which has a Russert Moment of Zen and The Colbert Report, which opened with a segment on him as well.
