In a startling moment during a live broadcast, Fox News correspondent Camryn Kinsey collapsed on air while reporting for Fox News at Night, leaving viewers and colleagues alarmed. The incident occurred during a routine segment and was briefly captured on camera before the feed cut away. Kinsey, known for her poised delivery and in-depth reporting, received immediate medical attention, and Fox News later confirmed she was stable and recovering.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as sudden and concerning. Mid-sentence during a political analysis segment, Kinsey appeared to lose her balance before slumping forward. The broadcast quickly switched to a wide shot as producers and crew rushed to assist her. Co-anchors later addressed the incident, assuring audiences that Kinsey was being cared for and expressing relief that the situation was under control.
Fox News released an official statement shortly after the event:
“During tonight’s broadcast, our colleague Camryn Kinsey experienced a medical episode. She is now resting and receiving proper care. We ask for privacy for Camryn and her family at this time.”
While the exact cause of Kinsey’s fainting spell remains undisclosed, medical experts suggest common triggers such as dehydration, exhaustion, or stress, frequent challenges for journalists working under tight deadlines and long hours. Kinsey, who has been with Fox News since 2021, is a familiar face on Fox News at Night, often covering high-profile political and breaking news stories.
The incident sparked an outpouring of support on social media, with hashtags like #GetWellCamryn trending on X (formerly Twitter). Fellow journalists, including Fox News personalities like Sean Hannity and Martha MacCallum, shared messages of concern and encouragement.
This is not the first time a live TV fainting incident has made headlines. In 2013, CNN’s Anderson Cooper nearly passed out during a broadcast due to severe dehydration, while in 2019, Good Morning America meteorologist Rob Marciano collapsed from heat exhaustion. Such events highlight the intense physical demands of live television.
As of this reporting, there’s no update on when Kinsey will return to air, but Fox News insiders suggest she may take a brief leave to recover fully. The network has not announced a temporary replacement for her segments.
