Michael Holley, co-host of “PFT Live,” fainted on camera during the show on Friday morning. The incident occurred while his co-host, Mike Florio, was speaking. Holley swayed in his chair before falling out of frame, prompting the show to cut to a commercial break.
Pro Football Talk, which produces “PFT Live,” posted on X that Holley had become overheated in his home studio. The statement added that Holley recovered quickly and is doing fine. Florio confirmed to Awful Announcing that the studio was "very warm" and that Holley had not eaten or drunk anything before the broadcast.
Florio stated that he did not notice Holley slumping until he looked away from the camera. The broadcast immediately went to a commercial break to provide assistance. Holley has since recovered and is reported to be well.
Reports indicate that Holley and Florio were discussing recent comments made by “Monday Night Football” analyst Troy Aikman regarding his roles as a commentator and consultant for the Dolphins during the time of the incident. Clips of the show are available on the NFL on NBC YouTube page, though footage of the fainting itself was not included.
