    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.”

    She asked production workers if they were OK before telling viewers, “Thank you so much for bearing with us through that, our studio was shaking just a little bit,” and immediately kicked it back to a graphic showing that the U.S. women had won 61 straight games in the Olympics.

    “I was stunned by both the earthquake and how @malika_andrews handled it like a boss. Wow,” Lobo posted on X shortly after the incident.
