Fox News commentator faints live on air: ‘We have paramedics checking her’
Camryn Kinsey, a political commentator, collapsed during a Fox News broadcast Thursday.
During a “Fox News @ Night” segment, Kinsey lost her train of thought, then fell from her chair.
Neither Kinsey nor Fox revealed the cause of her fall, Hunt did assure viewers after the commercial break that she had regained consciousness.
“We want to give you a quick update. Camryn is up and moving,” host Jonathan Hunt told viewers, per USA Today. “We have paramedics checking her. We will keep you updated. We wish her all the best.”
Fox shared a statement with USA Today on Friday.

“After ‘Fox News @ Night’ guest Camryn Kinsey fainted during a live on-air appearance last night in our Los Angeles bureau, paramedics were called and she was treated and cleared,” a Fox News spokesperson wrote. “We are happy to hear she is now feeling much better and wish her a speedy recovery.”
Host Jonathan Hunt reacted with surprise as crew members ran out to help, saying: “Oh my goodness, we’re just going to get some help here for Camryn.”
He then attempted to throw the segment back to another commentator before going to break.
