Brokaw says he’s feeling better
NBC News special correspondent Tom Brokaw has been discharged from a Charlotte, N.C., hospital and pronounced “in great health” after feeling light-headed during a TV appearance Thursday morning.
NBC had reported earlier that Brokaw felt “light-headed” on the set of the newstalk program “Morning Joe,” which originated this week from Charlotte. “
At about 10 a.m., Brokaw offered his own diagnosis with this Twitter post: “All is well Early AM I mistakenly took a half dose of Ambien and made less sense than usual. Made a better comeback than Giants...” Ambien is a brand name for a sleep-inducer.
The 72-year-old Brokaw has been keeping a busy schedule of on-air appearances at the Republican National Convention last week and, this week, at the Democratic Convention.

The Grammywinning record producer shook his head repeatedly under questioning before a jury as an attorney described Francis’ accusations, which Jones called fiction.
Francis says Jones told him that Wynn had threatened to hit him over the head with a shovel and have him buried in the desert. Francis also says Jones showed him a stack of e-mails supposedly detailing the threats. Francis said under oath that Jones told him Wynn was a gangster and “old Vegas.”
“That sounds like a line from ‘Scarface,’” Jones said.
Wynn has vehemently denied he ever threatened Francis. He has testified that Francis’ comments could hurt business at his Las Vegas resorts, the Wynn and Encore.
