Gibberish-Speaking CBS Reporter Had Migraine

Max Read · 02/18/11 01:55AM

The key question following CBS L.A. reporter Serene Branson's on-air linguistic breakdown after the Grammys was "Did she have a stroke?" (This was the nice-seeming way of asking "Is it okay for me to laugh at this video?") Well: The blood test and brain scan results have apparently ruled out the possibility of a stroke, and Branson's doctors now believe she suffered from a migraine; her neurologist, Dr. Andrew Charles, says "she's completely back to herself." Which is great news, for Branson and for your heavy conscience. Laugh away! [AP]
