CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil was forced to halt a live broadcast from Taiwan after his cameraman suffered a medical emergency on-air.
The crew was reporting from Taipei as a backup location after the network reportedly failed to secure a Chinese visa for Dokoupil to enter Beijing. During the segment, Dokoupil frantically called for a doctor, leading to reports that the crew was exhausted and understaffed. The logistical nightmare prompted outgoing Late Show host Stephen Colbert to publicly mock his own network's "sloppy" handling of the high-stakes international assignment.
While the cameraman is reportedly recovering, the series of blunders has fueled internal criticism regarding the show's leadership and overall morale.
