Fox News anchor John Roberts won’t be appearing on his regular weekday afternoon slot on America Reports for the foreseeable future as he battles a “severe case of malaria.”

The 68-year-old journalist revealed the news on X on Tuesday (August 26), where he thanked his fellow Fox News host Trace Gallagher for filling in for him as Sandra Smith’s co-anchor on America Reports, which airs weekdays at 1 p.m. In the post, Roberts explained the reason for his absence, saying, “I somehow came down with a severe case of Malaria.”

“Thank you to Trace for jumping into the chair today!” Roberts wrote. “I somehow came down with a severe case of Malaria. I can honestly say that I am the only person in the hospital with Malaria. In fact, one of my doctors said I’m the first case he has ever seen.”
