And so I was getting my first entree into this position. And I had done this before, before June 7th, 2004. This was not my first time doing it. But on this morning, just a few seconds into my little shtick, and you can Google this. If you Google panic attack on television, it's the number one result, which is great. You can see if you watch it that like I just, I kind of melt down.

Health news now, one of the world's most commonly prescribed medications may be providing a big bonus. Researchers report people who take cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins for at least five years may also lower their risk for cancer, but it's too early to prescribe statins slowly for cancer production.

And I'm pretty good because I've had spent my entire adult life on camera and because I'm not at baseline very emotionally expressive. I kind of hold it together reasonably well, but you can see that I'm having trouble breathing. And what's happening for me internally is my heart's racing. My palms are sweaty. My mouth is drying up. My lungs have seized up.

And I really can't speak, which is deeply inconvenient if you're trying to anchor the news. And then at one point I just squeak out like a back to you to the main hosts of the show, which Charlie Gibson and Diane Soar. That does it for news. We're going to go back now to Robin and Charlie. All right. Thanks very much, Dan.

Okay, so you can see in the clip, Diane and Charlie both look a little concerned when I toss it back to them because I did it minutes before I was supposed to. And Charlie then sends it over to the weatherman. And then he, when the camera is off of him, bolts out of his seat and runs over to me to see like, what's wrong with you?

And the producers in the control room are getting in my ear like, are you okay? Well, what happened? And I lied. I totally lied.

Pretty much. Pretty much. I knew I had had a panic attack because I had had little versions of this before. First of all, the first panic attacks I ever had were when I was smoking weed for the first time in my early teens. So I kind of knew what panic tastes like. And when your brain learns how to panic, it can get pretty good at it.
