近20年来，他的笑脸为数以百万计的观众所熟悉：每天，无论风雨无阻，他都在广场上，因为今天迎接了美国。他的名字是Linny Boyette，但他或许更为人所知的是今天的超级粉丝.
可悲的是，由于心脏病的并发症，林尼星期天去世了，今天的每个人都哀悼他作为演出家庭的离去成员。他71岁.
“我们实际上收到的关于Linny的观众邮件比任何我们的广播团队都要多，”娜塔莉莫拉莱斯说。 “我们理解，因为我们也爱林尼，我们肯定会想念他。”
星期天晚上，Willie Geist和Meredith Vieira多年来一直在Linny度过了很多时间，在听到这个消息之后发了推文.
作为一名出生于英格兰的退伍军人，Linny每天凌晨3:30起床，从纽约布朗克斯的家中乘坐地铁，大约凌晨5:30到达广场。他保留了他的位置，他会打发时间直到7点开始，通过阅读报纸，喝茶和与其他粉丝聊天。 “这是每天早上都要做的事情。这是我的一天，”他在2010年告诉TODAY.com.
多年来，他被认为是这个家庭的一员，而且他的名字很多，并且有许多锚。在演出的五年中，他特别接近梅雷迪思。事实上，就在梅雷迪思宣布她将于2011年5月离开演出几分钟后，她就站在广场上的林尼旁边，看看成为粉丝而不是一个主播会是什么样子。当她于2012年4月回访时，她站在广场上的Linny旁边，手里拿着一个标语，上面写着“忘记Matt！这里为Linny。”之后，她带着他进入Studio 1A.
由于健康问题，当Linny今年早些时候没有出现在广场上时，人们注意到了这一点 – 当他三月再次出现时，他得到了Matt，Al和Savannah的热烈欢迎。不幸的是，他的健康问题再次出现，现在，无论广场的粉丝多么拥挤，今天最伟大的TODAY粉丝的日常存在永远不会被遗忘.
“这意味着团结和和平，”林尼曾说过今天。 “它每天都变得更好……从来没有在这个节目上变得沉闷。”
今天的家人分享了他们的哀悼.
今天的观众很快就加入了Twitter，其中很多都包括他们自己在广场上的Linny照片：

In the past 20 years, his smiling face has been familiar to millions of viewers: every day, rain or shine, he was on the square because today he welcomed America. His name is Linny Boyette, but he may be better known as todays super fan. Sadly, due to complications from heart disease, Linny passed away on Sunday, and everyone today mourns him as a departing member of the shows family. He was 71 years old. “We actually received more audience mail about Linny than any of our broadcast team,” Natalie Morales said. “We understand because we love Linny too, and we will certainly miss him.” On Sunday night, Willie Geist and Meredith Vieira, who had spent a lot of time with Linny over the years, tweeted after hearing the news. As a retired soldier born in England, Linny got up at 3:30 every morning, took the subway from his home in the Bronx, New York, and arrived at the square around 5:30 in the morning. He reserved his spot and passed the time until 7 oclock by reading newspapers, drinking tea, and chatting with other fans. “This is what I do every morning. This is my day,” he told TODAY.com in 2010. Over the years, he has been considered a member of this family, and he has many names and many anchors. During the five-year show, he was particularly close to Meredith. In fact, just minutes after Meredith announced she would leave the show in May 2011, she stood next to Linny on the square, wondering what it would be like to be a fan instead of an anchor. When she returned in April 2012, she stood next to Linny on the square with a sign that read “Forget Matt! Heres Linny.” After that, she took him into Studio 1A. When Linny did not appear on the square earlier this year due to health problems, people noticed – when he reappeared in March, he received a warm welcome from Matt, Al, and Savannah. Unfortunately, his health problems reappeared, and now, no matter how crowded the fans on the square are, the daily presence of todays greatest TODAY fan will never be forgotten. “This means unity and peace,” Linny said
