Fox News host and political commentator, Tucker Carlson was absent from his show Thursday night after suffering from an appendicitis.
A spokesperson for Fox News said Carlson is "in good spirits and expects to back on the air soon."
Mediaite reports that the 48-year-old went to the doctor Thursday after getting a fever with his doctor recommending he be admitted to the hospital for appendicitis.

"Get well soon to @TuckerCarlson -- hoping for a speedy recovery!," Tapper tweeted.
