Michael Holley collapses on air during PFT Live broadcast

During a Friday episode of PFT Live, co-host Michael Holley fainted in his home studio after becoming overheated, but recovered quickly.

On Friday, the live broadcast of PFT Live took an unexpected turn when co-host Michael Holley lost consciousness in his home studio. While Mike Florio was on camera, Holley began to sway in his seat, eventually falling out of the chair, which forced the program to cut to a commercial break. Florio later said the studio environment was extremely warm and that Holley had not consumed food or drink prior to the show, leading to overheating and fainting.

The episode was being recorded while the hosts debated Troy Aikman's remarks about his commentator and consultant duties with the Dolphins. Pro Football Talk posted about the incident on X, noting that Holley recovered swiftly and was fine. Clips of the broadcast are available on NFL on one outlet’s YouTube channel, though they omit the moment of the fainting.
