Colin Cowherd was forced to abruptly cut off his show on Monday afternoon.

The 61-year-old looked physically unwell throughout his ‘The Herd’ Show which airs from 12pm ET on Fox Sports 1.

The worrying incident occurred when the host was discussing the blockbuster NBA trade which saw former Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic join the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis.

However, Cowherd struggled throughout and eventually said he had to leave the air as he was “getting very sick very fast”.

“Folks, I am going to take a break,” Cowherd said suddenly.

“I am getting very, very sick very, very quickly on the set. We will return.”

Fans were understandably concerned and shared their worry on X as the show went to a seven-minute commercial break.

“Hoping Colin Cowherd is okay. Was not looking or sounding good before quickly tossing to break,” one fan wrote.

“Now, FS1 has been lengthening the commercial break with promos and it’s been 7 minutes since they were on air.”

When the show came back from a lengthy ad break, Jason Mcintyre was in the host’s chair.

He said Cowherd was feeling under the weather and was relaxing in a dressing room.

The show’s official social media account thankfully confirmed that Cowherd was OK, but that he was done filming for the rest of the day.

“Colin is doing OK,” it shared on X.

“Thank you for your concerns. Colin is under the weather and Jason Mcintyre is filling in.”
