CRAIG CIVALE HAS SEEN THE LIGHT–AND IT HURT HIS EYES

Craig Civale is new enough to Channel 8 that a bio of the square-jawed David Hasselhoff look-alike doesn’t appear on their site. He came to us from WVEC, the Belo station in Norfolk, VA. Well, comes word from an informed FBvian that last night Civale got his eyes burned by the HMI camera lights while he was doing a live shot. I’m told Civale woke up in the middle of the night with his face red and his eyes swollen shut. He had to go to the hospital. He’s now wearing patches on both eyes, which, I assume, means he won’t be on camera anytime soon. (Bonus trivia: what’s an HMI light? Hydrargyrum medium-arc iodide, of course.)
