The American rapper first seemed to be lost in a daze for a few seconds, appearing to be somewhere else but later regained his composure to discuss the Berzerk music video.
The hip-hop legend seemed unaware of what was happening while he was questioned on the show; meanwhile, as soon as a clip from Berzerk's music video was played, he went back to normal.
This left everyone wondering if the Kamikaze rapper was high. However, Musburger later made it clear that it wasn't the case with Eminem's behavior.

The 85-year-old further said, “Everyone thinks he was. He came in, he’s standing between Herbstreit and me and he was not familiar with the monitors, so he was looking at himself, and he kinda froze on the camera.”
Meanwhile, as for Kirk Herbstreit's part, when the 54-year-old sportscaster appeared on the same show two years back, he claimed that Eminem, the 8 Mile star was reenacting scenes from the music video from the album The Marshall Mathers LP2.
Herbstreit, the former college football player even called it a “genius move” since “he had a new album coming out.” The ESPN analyst said “What better way to market that than to do that prank? It got everybody talking.”
The five-time Sports Emmy Awards winner was impressed by the rapper's tactical way of promoting his new album by doing “a Berzerk character just to have some fun and make people go, ‘Was he high?”
The moment which made everyone question “what’s wrong with Eminem?’ All that noise at least made people know he has a new album coming out,” said Herbstreit.
Meanwhile, the Real Slim Shady rapper has released yet another album which is making sounds worldwide. The 51-year-old who is a huge fan of the Detroit Lions, his hometown team, has earned his 11th number-one album with The Death of Slim Shady.
