John Roberts, a host for Fox News, has been candid about his recent health struggles.
This Monday, the 65-year-old former chief White House correspondent returned to the news program “America Reports” to announce that he has a pacemaker.
On Wednesday, Fox News released a clip of him saying, “For individuals at home who didn’t know, this time last week I left our show and immediately went into the hospital.” It had been a long since I felt well enough to say, “I had not been feeling well.”
Roberts continued by saying that the stent surgeons had to return to his heart in 2018 because it had “blocked back up again and needed to be reopened.”

“I’m 75% (better), but I’m aiming to be 100% soon,” Roberts remarked.
It was “wonderful to be back” on “America Reports” with Sandra Smith, Roberts said in a tweet on Wednesday. It’s nice to have you back, Smith tweeted.
Roberts admitted to having stents installed in his heart owing to blocked arteries, a condition the Fox News anchor says is the result of his long history of smoking, in an interview with “The Washingtonian” published in October 2020.
