CNN host Wolf Blitzer nearly vomits on-air: Producers cut to commercial after pale-looking host was seen retching and swallowing in the middle of interview

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, 75, was seen pale and retching on camera while hosting his show, forcing the channel to abruptly cut a commercial break.

Blitzer was on air with House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D., Md.) when he was seen swallowing uncomfortably and looking dizzy while trying to avoid vomiting.

The Situation Room host struggled to contain himself for a full minute before CNN cut off Blitzer’s broadcast and let Raskin finish his closing remarks on his own.

As Raskin continued his comments, sounds resembling vomiting could be heard in the background.

CNN later said Washington Post: ‘Wolf wasn’t feeling 100 percent while anchoring Thursday night.’
