ESPN host Malika Andrews stayed poised and composed as a 4.4 magnitude earthquake rocked the network’s Los Angeles studio while she was on-air on Monday.
Andrews, the host of “NBA Today,” was talking with women’s basketball legend Rebecca Lobo about the United States women’s team’s 67-66 gold-medal win over France to cap off the Paris Olympics, when all of a sudden the studio started rocking.
Andrews was mid-sentence when the studio started rocking and she pivoted to, “As we have a bit of an earthquake here in Los Angeles, so we’re just going to make sure that our studio lights, everything stays safe. Everything’s shaking.”
