Legendary broadcast journalist Tom Brokaw has been hospitalized in Charlotte Thursday morning, but fans need not worry because he is now doing well.
NBC News President Steve Capus said in a statement that Brokaw felt “light-headed” while on the set of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” according to a report by usmagazine.com.
“Out of an abundance of caution, he was taken to a hospital,” Capus said in the statement originally posted by Reuters. “He is being evaluated, is in good spirits, and is expected to be released shortly.”
The 72 year-old former news anchor, who now serves as NBC News special correspondent, revealed his health condition on Twitter same day.
“All is well Early AM I mistakenly took half a dose of Ambien and made less sense than usual,” and “made a better comeback than the Giants!”
Ambien is a sedative and is used for the “short-term treatment of insomnia” by helping you fall asleep, according to drugs.com.
