Watch: Fox News guest collapses live on-air amid host's slow reaction

A Fox News panelist, Camryn Kinsey, collapsed live on air Thursday night during a segment on “Fox News @ Night” with anchor Jonathan Hunt. The incident unfolded rapidly as Kinsey was discussing President Joe Biden’s remarks on Kamala Harris’ defeat to US President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

Kinsey, stumbling over her words and appearing visibly disoriented, suddenly fainted, toppling sideways off her chair with an audible noise as she hit the floor. Hunt, initially stunned, sat frozen for a moment and did not immediately respond. Instead of rushing to her aid or cutting to a commercial break, Hunt awkwardly continued the segment, much to the surprise and concern of viewers.

As Kinsey lay unconscious on the floor, a crew member quickly rushed in to assist. It wasn’t until moments later that Hunt, apparently realizing the severity of the situation, finally announced a break.

A Fox News representative confirmed that paramedics were called to the scene, and Kinsey was treated and cleared. She has since been reported to be in better health, though no official cause for the fainting has been disclosed.

Social Media Reacts

The incident sparked a wave of social media reactions, with many viewers expressing concern for Kinsey’s well-being. Some were shocked by Hunt’s delay in helping, with one user commenting, “Hey Jonathan Hunt, when someone faints and hits their head on the ground, you help them. You don’t just keep going with the show. Cold.”

Others took to social media to offer well-wishes to Kinsey, advising her to rest and recover. “Hoping the best for you. Please rest up, hydrate, eat something, take it easy for a little bit. Your health is so important,” one comment read.

Kinsey, a former administration official during Trump’s first term, also runs Titan Media Strategies. As of now, there has been no official update on the cause of the fainting.
