Fox News pundit Glenn Beck suffered an attack of appendicitis while doing his radio show and had to have surgery, a spokeswoman for Fox News Channel said. Andrew P. Napolitano, who filled in for Beck on TV, said Beck should make a full recovery.
Beck, 45, underwent a procedure which he called "butt surgery" almost two years ago, publicly complaining that it went "awry." He will be out for the rest of the week.
