## Resource

A beloved production manager for Watch What Happens Live, Kyra Samson, passed away at just 28 after a courageous battle with brain cancer. Known for her sweet smile and fierce presence—especially at BravoCon—Kyra touched everyone she worked with. Her father, a former baseball exec turned podcaster, honors her legacy by pushing for change in glioblastoma research, while the newly launched Kyra Fund has already raised nearly $300K. Kyra, diagnosed at 27, lived fully and passionately, even working on Jeopardy! after her time on WWHL. Her story is one of strength, love, and urgent hope for the future.
