Malika Andrews was in the middle of a show when an earthquake rocked ESPN’s Los Angeles studio. Her reaction has likely attracted some new admirers as she managed to keep her poise and relay what was happening.
The ‘NBA Today’ host was speaking remotely to basketball analyst Rebecca Lobo, with the two discussing the women’s basketball team’s exploits at the Olympic Games in Paris, France when an earthquake hit.
Andrews kept everything in stride as she said, “We have a bit of an earthquake here in Los Angeles” while regaining her balance. She then checked on the crew members, making sure everyone was okay.
“So we’re just going to make sure our studio lights and everything stays safe,” she said. “Everything’s shaking.
“Are you good, Mylen?” she asked the camera operator. “Everyone good?”
Andrews thanked Lobo for staying on amid the quake then inquired as to whether everyone was okay in the control room before continuing with the show.
Check it out in the clip below:
“Damn she was so calm and smooth I would have been screaming Chris Tucker style😭😭😭,” one user wrote.
“Her composure level is next level,” someone else said.
“Cool as a cucumber that was impressive,” a fan observed.
“Malika Andrews just handled an earthquake on live TV like I swat flies. That was wild,” someone joked.
Malika Andrews Admitted Having Experienced A “Scary Moment”
The earthquake, which took place two miles off Pasadena, California, was 4.7 in magnitude.
Andrews later took to X/Twitter to admit she’d been through a scary moment and thank her colleagues for maintaining their cool throughout.
“Definitely a scary moment here in our LA studios. Thank you to our incredible staff and crew who stayed cool throughout! Stay safe, fellow Angelenos,” she tweeted.
Way to remain calm under pressure, Malika.
