“PFT Live” took a concerning turn Friday.
Co-host Michael Holley fainted on camera during the show while Mike Florio was speaking.
Holley swayed in his chair before falling out the side, and “PFT Live” quickly cut to commercial.
“On Friday’s @PFT_Live, Michael Holley became overheated and fainted in the studio in his home,” Pro Football Talk posted on X on Friday moring. “We immediately went to a commercial break in order to get him assistance. Fortunately, Michael recovered quickly and is fine.”
Florio, in a statement to Awful Announcing, said that Holley’s studio was “very warm.”
“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.
