Tony Dokoupil Fights Back Tears During Hometown Broadcast in Miami: ‘It Makes Me Emotional’ | Video

Tony Dokoupil struggled to keep his emotions in check during an on-camera interview in his hometown of Miami, Florida.

The new anchor for “CBS Evening News” gave an interview from South Florida as part of his “Live From America” tour commemorating his first official week at the network. However, amid one on-camera segment, the broadcaster admitted his homecoming was more emotional than he expected it to be.

“It makes me emotional,” Dokoupil said to CBS Miami’s Lauren Pastrana while choking back tears on Tuesday.
