Friday's episode of PFT Live featured a brief scare as Mike Florio's co-host Michael Holley fainted on camera.
As Florio was talking, Holley began to sway and blink repeatedly before tipping backwards and falling. Florio stopped and cut to a commercial break.
Shortly afterwards, ProFootballTalk announced on X that Holley became overheated and fainted. Holley reportedly recovered and is now fine.
"On Friday's @PFT_Live , Michael Holley became overheated and fainted in the studio in his home. We immediately went to a commercial break in order to get him assistance. Fortunately, Michael recovered quickly and is fine," PFT announced.
Florio Speaks
Speaking to Awful Announcing afterwards, Florio explained that Holley's home studio was "very warm" and that he hadn't had anything to eat or drink before the show. Florio said he didn't notice anything wrong with Holley because his focus was on the camera, not on the monitor showing Holley.
“Michael was in the studio at his home,” Florio told Awful Announcing in a statement. “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.”

Some fans had jokes about the whole situation but for the most part they're just happy that Holley is okay.
"Glad he's doing ok. That was scary to see live. Thanks for the update. Get well soon, Michael Holley!" one user wrote on X.
"If I know @MichaelSHolley , he got overheated talking about either Ohio State football or Eddie Vedder. I'm glad he's OK. Godspeed," wrote another.
"Get well man," a third wrote.
"Sheeeeeshhhh prayers up for my guy!"
We wish Holley the best as he recovers.
