CNN Anchor Passes Out On-Air

CNN anchor Poppy Harlow, who is six-months pregnant,  says she passed out while at the anchor desk on Monday, while introducing a segment about the latest CNN/ORC poll on Americans' attitudes about the war on terrorism.

According to Politico, Harlow's speech slurred as she discussed the results, and a gasp could be heard on air, though a poll graphic was on the screen as it cut to black. Twitter users immediately speculated that something must have been wrong.

Thank you all for your concern and messages! I am ok! Passed out briefly and am with the doctor now. So thankful to our amazing CNN team.

The show returned with a segment featuring media reporter Brian Stelter, who then tossed back to Harlow, who thanked viewers for their concern.

"And for all of you on Twitter, who are asking if I'm OK, thank you so much. I got a little hot, and I passed out for a moment," she explained. "I am fine."
