Daily News | WURD host Charles Ellison is stepping away from ‘Reality Check’ after an epilepsy diagnosis
Charles Ellison has stepped away from his hosting role at 900 AM WURD’s reality check following an epilepsy diagnosis that came after a seizure during a live broadcast of the show last month.
Ellison announced his departure from the show in an episode on April 4. Before that, he last appeared on the program on March 6, when he had a seizure on the air that later evolved into “a series of five seizures,” Ellison said. “And I found the very, very hard way that I have epilepsy,” Ellison said on the April 4 broadcast. “That’s it for Reality Check for me as the executive producer and as the host of Reality Check.”
Ellison acknowledged that the on-air seizure may have been traumatic for some listeners who were tuned in, and said that he apologized to anyone who may have been disturbed. He also credited his wife and youngest daughter for saving his life. “By the fourth or fifth one, I got very violent, and my wife and my daughter, who happened to be right near me at that time, hopped into action and literally saved my life,” Ellison said. “Because those seizures were dangerous. They were life-threatening.”
