During a live show in ESPN's Los Angeles studio on Monday afternoon, host Malika Andrews experienced a moment of panic as a magnitude 4.4 earthquake struck the area. The quake, which had an epicenter in El Sereno, was felt throughout Southern California and caused quite a stir. Fortunately, there were no immediate reports of damage.
As the earthquake struck at 12:20pm, Andrews was in the middle of reporting when the studio suddenly began to shake. The terrifying moment was captured on live television, causing the camera to tilt and shake for a few seconds. Despite the chaos, Andrews remained professional and calmly informed viewers that they would make sure everything in the studio was safe and secure.
"Sorry folks, it seems we have a bit of an earthquake here in Los Angeles," Andrews said as she tried to regain her composure. She then proceeded to check on her crew members by calling out their names, making sure everyone was okay. "We want to make sure that our studio lights and everything else stays safe while everything is shaking," she added.
Despite the unexpected interruption, Andrews continued with the show, showing resilience and composure. "Thank you for bearing with us through that, our studio was shaking just a little bit," she said, trying to make light of the situation. Her quick thinking and calm demeanor during such a chaotic moment were praised by viewers and social media users.
As Andrews carried on with her reporting, she even managed to keep her sense of humor. "Alright, so this is what I want to show you right now," she said, trying to steer the conversation back to the topic at hand. She also thanked her colleague, basketball analyst Rebecca Lobo, for bearing through the interruption.
Lobo, who was speaking with Andrews from a different location, appeared shocked as she watched the quake rock the studio. But Andrews continued with the show, showing her professionalism and dedication to her job. Her calm reaction and lack of fear or panic was truly admirable and drew praise from social media users.
In the end, despite the chaos and uncertainty, Andrews and her team managed to carry on with the show, proving their resilience and commitment to delivering the news.
