CBS Evening News was momentarily interrupted on Wednesday (May 13) when a cameraman suffered a medical emergency off-screen while the show was broadcasting live from Taiwan.
Anchor Tony Dokoupil was wrapping up the show when something off-camera caught his attention. “Is he okay?” Dokoupil could be heard saying as images of China appeared on-screen. “We’re going to take a quick break. We have a medical emergency here,” he added.
