He'd been sick with stomach flu, and as you can see here, the guy totally toughed it out. His hour with Rachel Maddow would be the longest period he'd gone without being sick in a day. At the close of the interview he said to Maddow:

It was an amazing encounter, and we'll have lots and lots of it on the show tonight at 9 Eastern.
