Comedian and actor D.L. Hughley is feeling better after collapsing onstage while performing stand-up in Nashville, his rep, Yvette Shearer, confirmed to USA TODAY.
"DL collapsed on stage last night during his second show in Nashville," Shearer said in a email. "He was suffering from exhaustion after all the week’s work and travel."
Fans caught the 57-year-old's fall on video and posted it to social media.
Shearer added that Hughley was kept at the hospital overnight to undergo tests under doctor's orders but was in better shape by Saturday afternoon.
"He is awake and feeling better, and wishes to thank everyone for the very kind prayers and thoughts," Shearer said.
Remaining performances by Hughley have been canceled after the incident.
Hughley was scheduled to perform two shows per day at Nashville's Zanies Comedy Night Club through Sunday, according to the club’s website. Hughley had been performing Zanies since Thursday, the website says. At the time, Zanies did not elaborate on why Hughley's shows were canceled.
The Nashville Fire Department transported a patient from Zanies to an area hospital, NFD spokesman Joseph Pleasant confirmed.
Hughley is well-recognized as a stand-up comedian and is also regular on the television talk-show circuit.
