Barbara Corcoran talks about how much she relied on Mark Cuban emotionally while filming Shark Tank and how his exit leaves a hole.
How might Barbara Corcoran’s situation change in the absence of Mark Cuban?
The Shark Tank regular says she is scared about him leaving.
In a joke on The Jennifer Hudson Show, she said, “I cannot imagine surviving without him.”
She was talking about Mark Cuban, who helped her with math backstage during the show.
“He’d hand me notes saying, ‘This is 12% equity’—now I’m scrambling!”
For what reason did Cuban choose to leave after 16 years?
The billionaire said in an All the Smoke show in November 2023, “It is time.”
Since he started in Season 3, he is ready to move on to other things, but he cannot help but miss the show.
“The crew is like family,” he told PEOPLE. “Twice a year, we would spend 12 hours together. “That is what I will miss.”
What is his proudest accomplishment on the show?
“It is the message,” Cuban stressed, not the deals. His goal became to show that the American dream can come true.
Corcoran’s struggle shows how important his role was: part guide, part computer, and completely memorable.
Key Takeaways:
- Corcoran counted on Cuban to do quick math while talks were going on.
- Cuban leaves after Season 16 because he puts people over deals.
- His legacy? He is making business more accessible to everyone, one pitch at a time.
