A video of CBS journalist Serene Branson flubbing her words while reporting on last night's Grammy results has gone viral -- but not for the reason you might think.

The 17-second clip shows Branson completely unable to pronounce any of the words she's trying to say as she slurs her way through the incomprehensible report. The Telegraph reports that Branson was hospitalized out of concern she might've suffered a stroke on-air, while the New York Daily News reports that she was examined by EMTs and sent home.

UPDATE: CBS 2 posted a statement about Branson's condition, saying "Serene Branson was examined by paramedics on scene immediately after her broadcast. Her vital signs were normal. She was not hospitalized. As a precautionary measure, a colleague gave her a ride home and she says that she is feeling fine this morning."

According to Branson's biography on the CBS Los Angeles site, the Los Angeles native is a two-time Emmy nominee. Watch the video after the jump.

She's been diagnosed as a complex migraine. Scary as hell still. I'm happy they didn't jump to her just being drunk or high. When you think you are stroking out it's terrifying. Poor thing.

I saw that yesterday, poor girl. The brain is a mystery...you can see the look in her eyes, she knew something was wrong :-(

i had never heard of a complex migraine, at least not with these symptoms, until this woman's story. apparently complex migraines can look like strokes in a lot of ways. she reported that her face was partially paralyzed as well.
