Tom Brokaw: In Great Health

Tom Brokaw is doing well after a brief hospitalization on Thursday (September 6th). The NBC News special correspondent was taken to a Charlotte, N.C. hospital after he felt "light-headed" following an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe.

NBC later released a statement saying, "After medical evaluation and a round of tests, Tom was pronounced in great health and has been discharged."

The 72-year-old himself also tweeted, "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. . . "

Brokaw has served as a special correspondent for the network since stepping down as the anchor of NBC Nightly News in 2004.
