CBS Cameraman Collapses On Air In Apparent Medical Emergency


A “CBS Evening News” cameraman collapsed while live on-air in Taiwan early Thursday morning after suffering an apparent medical emergency.

“You will hear a lot about American decline and the rise of a powerful new China. The Chinese certainly… Is he okay?” anchor Tony Dokoupil said after a sound is heard off-camera.

“We’re gonna take a quick break. We have a medical emergency here,” Dokoupil said. “We’re calling a doctor.”

When the broadcast returned from break, CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman came on-air to close out the show from New York City.

“CBS Evening News” issued a statement on the cameraman’s condition shortly after the broadcast ended.

“Tonight during the final segment of CBS Evening News, our cameraman on set suffered a medical emergency. Thankfully, he’s okay and recovering,” the statement read.

Paramount, CBS’s parent company, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the cameraman’s identity or condition.
