NBC “Today” show co-anchor Tamron Hall said on Monday she suffered a deep muscle tear while screaming too much during a recent trip to a haunted house.

Hall visited the Brighton Asylum in Passaic, N.J. on Friday to tape a segment with co-hosts Al Roker, Natalie Morales and Willie Geist.

Hall discussed the house tour with her co-hosts on Monday’s show. She said she went home that night feeling nauseous and in pain.

“I got home. I took a hot, herbal, muscle-soak bath,” she said. “I’m feeling really worried. You know, do I call 911? Do I call my mother? I don’t know. So I take an Advil, an Advil PM — I just start escalating. And then I go to sleep.”

She said the next morning she spoke to Roker, who encouraged her to get it checked out.

“I was really in so much pain, went to the hospital, didn’t tell my mom until now, because she would have been hysterical,” Hall said. “Went to the hospital, had a sonogram, blood work, the whole nine yards.”

The doctors diagnosed her with a deep muscle tear, she said. “From screaming for 20 minutes.”

  1. I suspect this is a common problem among Fox News viewers.

  2. Thank you for bringing us this important and timely story. I smell a Pulitzer.

  3. I want, some day, to set up a Haunted House which will elicit laughs not screams.

    Honey? Once you’ve done Advil PM?
    You’ll never look at aspirin the same way again.
