Fox reporter falls asleep on-air?

Super Tuesday is a long, tiring slog for the journalists who cover it. Longer for some than others, perhaps.

On Wednesday morning, apparently around 5:30 local time, KTBC TV anchor Joe Bickett in Austin, Tex., tried to get a report on the political happenings from Fox D.C. correspondent Doug Luzader.

When Luzader was shown, it looked as if he had just bowed his head, but Bickett introduced the segment to no response.

"Hello, Doug. ... hi, Doug!" Bickett called. "I ... guess ... not. We'll check in in a minute."

and I'll fall asleep on the air for Faux.

They get nothing, so they will have to report nothing.
