		Siskel's almost naive affection for the magic of film was irresistible to the viewer, and a welcome contrast to Ebert's knowledgeable bluster, not to mention the way they ragged on each other.

		It was rumored that he contracted the tumor from excessive cell phone use.
		For the next few weeks after surgery, Siskel did his program from his hospital bed.
		There he took a wry note of the rivalry between him and Ebert, when he announced his leave in January, 1999, “I’m in a hurry to get well, because I don’t want Roger to get more screen time than I.” Two weeks after his departure from the show, he died from complications of the surgery.

		Most importantly, in a morally ambiguous world, where the meanest kids at school had all the power, and where their grown-up equivalents were running the country, Siskel and Ebert denounced ambiguity and mediocrity and indecision with one fell swoop: thumbs up or thumbs down.
