A troubling moment unfolded during Friday’s airing of “PFT Live.”
The broadcast took an unexpected twist when co-host Michael Holley suddenly lost consciousness while sharing the screen with Mike Florio.
Seated in his chair, Holley was seen swaying unsteadily before tumbling to the side, prompting “PFT Live” to swiftly cut to a commercial break for his safety.
“During Friday’s airing of @PFT_Live, Michael Holley experienced overheating and fainted inside his home studio,” Pro Football Talk shared in a post on X on Friday morning. “We went to a commercial break immediately to ensure he received assistance. We are relieved to report that Michael made a quick recovery and is doing well.”
In a statement to Awful Announcing, Mike Florio explained that Holley’s home studio had been “very warm” at the time of the incident.
“Michael was in the studio at his home,” Florio said. “It’s very warm in there. He hadn’t had anything to eat or drink before the show. He became overheated during the show and passed out. I didn’t notice until he slumped in his seat, because I was looking at the camera, not the monitor. We went to break right away to try to get him assistance, if he needed it. Fortunately, he recovered quickly and is fine.”
Clips from the show are available NFL on NBC’s YouTube page (which owns Pro Football Talk), though it did not include footage of the incident.
The pair reportedly had been discussing recent comments made by “Monday Night Football’ analyst Troy Aikman regarding his dual roles as a commentator and consultant for the Dolphins.
