CBS News Says Cameraman “Okay And Recovering” After Medical Emergency Interrupts Live ‘Evening News’ Broadcast From Taiwan

CBS News said that a cameraman is “okay and recovering” after he suffered a media emergency during a live broadcast of CBS Evening News from Taiwan.

Anchor Tony Dokoupil was toward the end of the broadcast when he stopped and said, “Is he OK? We’re going to take a quick break. We have a medical emergency here.” Off camera, Dokoupil could be heard saying, “We’re calling a doctor.” The broadcast then went to Matt Gutman, who was in New York and did the sign off.

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