So much so that the broadcast on +1 was pulled by ITV Well if Sky isn't putting the footage in the article, they must know that it's not good. I did a little YouTube search to try and find the footage in question, and even GBNews seemingly refused to actually air it when they discussed the matter. The few bits of footage I could find uploaded by random channels seems imply that he was quite unwell, and probably should have not continued the broadcast. I'm thinking it could possibly be a stroke? Slurring is a telltale sign of it, but I couldn't notice any other physical symptoms. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They’re quite scary but it would be expected for a man his age to make a full recovery. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dimreaper 698 Posted May 10 3 hours ago, RetroGamer47 said: Sam Rubin, KTLA reporter, dead at 64. (Not really sure where to put it) I actually remember him form a contentious interview he had with Mel Gibson. He was questioning Mel about his controversial remarks back in 2006, and he responded by asking him if he "had a dog in this fight" drawing attention to his Jewish last name. He also once confused Samuel L Jackson with Laurence Fishburne in the middle of an interview. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't realize he was also featured on morning TV in the UK as well. Also appeared on an Australian daytime show reporting on Hollywood stuff. He had apparently called in sick that morning, later calling in to a local radio station to wish a former colleague well on her retirement. Next thing is that KTLA are reporting his death a couple of hours later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
