Friday's edition of PFT Live included a moment that was unprecedented in the 15-year history of the show.
Co-host Michael Holley fainted on live TV.
Others have written about the incident; it makes sense for us to address it here. Michael, who has been part of the show for the past two years, became overheated during the two-hour program. He hadn't had anything to eat or drink before the show began at 7:00 a.m. ET on Peacock, NBCSN, and SiriusXM 85. And, as he later told me, his studio is very warm.
It happened in the final 30 minutes of the program. Earlier in the show, Michael's audio in his earpiece had cut out, and I noticed him bending over to try to get it working again.
As he became ill, I was looking at the camera, which sits above the monitor that returns the live feed of the show. I noticed Michael moving. I thought that he had again lost his audio. When he slumped to the right and fell out of the view of the screen, I knew something was wrong.
