"Lane was a wonderful and talented man who had a great gift: he had the ability to make everyone around him smile and laugh no matter what the circumstances," said Jeff Fager, CBS News chairman and executive producer of 60 Minutes. "So many of us at CBS News loved him and we will miss him very much."

He produced the CBS News special about Lucille Ball's life, Lucy, which was broadcast on the day of her death, April 26, 1989. Venardos won an Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University award for 48 Hours on Crack Street, which served as a precursor for 48 Hours Mystery.

Venardos has won 13 Emmy Awards for his work.
