Stephen Stills Cancer Surgery A Success
Nash was a guest on the show to pay tribute to the late Dan Fogelberg, who had died of prostate cancer that week, when he let slip that Stills was also diagnosed with the cancer.

A sports fan extraordinaire and longtime grade school coach, Nevels, 72, isn't short on sports stories and he has a zest for telling them. But nearly a decade ago, as he was just getting into retirement, Nevels wasn't sure how many big-time sporting events he'd be able to make. He had just been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He underwent external beam radiation followed up with brachytherapy in which radiation oncologist Dr. Marc Apple implanted tiny "seeds" in Nevels' prostate that emitted a controlled dose of radiation.
