Fox News Guest Camryn Kinsey Returns to Air After On-Air Fainting Spell

Camryn Kinsey, a political commentator who experienced a frightening medical emergency live on Fox News last month, is set to return to the network this week, marking a comeback after a concerning incident that captivated viewers and sparked widespread concern. Kinsey, who fainted during a May 8 appearance on "Fox News @ Night," shared an update with the New York Post, attributing the health scare to severe dehydration.

The incident occurred while Kinsey was discussing remarks made by former President Joe Biden regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’s performance in the 2024 presidential election. As Kinsey spoke, she suddenly lost consciousness and fell from her chair, prompting immediate action from the show’s host, Jonathan Hunt, who quickly announced, "We’re just going to get some help here for Camryn," before cutting to a commercial break.

Following the break, Hunt provided viewers with an update, stating that Kinsey was "up and moving" and that paramedics were attending to her. "We have paramedics checking her. We will keep you updated. We wish her all the best," he added.

The unexpected event triggered a wave of concern and well-wishes for Kinsey, with many viewers taking to social media to express their support and inquire about her condition.

In the aftermath of the incident, a Fox News spokesperson released a statement confirming that paramedics had been called to the Los Angeles bureau where the show was being broadcast and that Kinsey had been treated and cleared. "After ‘Fox News @ Night’ guest Camryn Kinsey fainted during a live on-air appearance last night in our Los Angeles bureau, paramedics were called and she was treated and cleared. We are happy to hear she is now feeling much better and wish her a speedy recovery," the spokesperson said.

Kinsey herself addressed the situation in a post on X the day after the fainting spell, assuring her followers that she was "doing well." She expressed her gratitude to the "incredible Fox News team and the EMTs who responded with such speed and care during the unexpected and frightening moment."

"To everyone who has called, texted, prayed, or checked in, thank you from the bottom of my heart," Kinsey wrote. "Your support has meant the world. I’m taking it slow, staying hydrated, letting my body rest, and thanking the Lord that everything is okay. It may not have been how I planned to end the segment, but I’ll be back on your TV soon. Hopefully long enough to finally finish my point about Kamala!"

In her recent interview with the New York Post, Kinsey elaborated on the experience, describing it as "very scary" but emphasizing that she felt more concerned for the audience and the Fox News crew who assisted her. "It was hard to hear my family so concerned, and I can only imagine what that looks like in real time − for my family and my friends and everyone watching," she said.

Kinsey also expressed relief that she did not sustain any serious injuries from the fall, noting, "I’m grateful my shoulder actually broke the fall, so there’s no concussion or bruising."

Despite the alarming nature of the incident, Kinsey has maintained a sense of humor, even turning the moment into a meme on her X account. She shared photos of herself fainting on the air with the caption, "Kamala when it’s time to visit the border," demonstrating her ability to find levity in a challenging situation.

Kinsey’s return to Fox News this week signals a resilient comeback for the young political commentator, who previously served as the external relations director in the White House presidential personnel office under President Donald Trump. Her experience has highlighted the importance of self-care and hydration, particularly in high-pressure environments.

The incident also underscores the unpredictable nature of live television and the professionalism of news organizations in handling unexpected medical emergencies. The swift response of the Fox News team and the paramedics ensured that Kinsey received immediate attention and care.

As Kinsey prepares to resume her role as a political commentator, viewers can expect her to bring her characteristic insights and perspectives to the discussions, while also serving as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing health and well-being. Her return to the airwaves is a testament to her resilience and determination, and a welcome sign for those who were concerned about her health following the on-air incident. It remains to be seen if she will finally get to finish her point about Kamala Harris, but her return is sure to be watched closely.
