Alissa Carlson Schwartz, a TV meteorologist in Los Angeles for CBS owned and operated Kcal, fainted Saturday morning on air.
The incident happened at the beginning of the 7 a.m. broadcast. Anchors Nichelle Medina and Rachel Kim were tossing it to Carlson for the morning weather report, when Carlson rested her arms on the desk, her eyes rolled back, and she leaned forwarded before falling out of her seat and onto the floor.
Both anchors were shocked and immediately asked to cut to a commercial break.
Kcal-tv never returned to their live newscast but instead aired pre-recorded and promotional programming before leading into their coverage of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, TMZ reported.
