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.
