Pat McAfee Sheds Light on Emergency Evacuation Incident That Creates Havoc for TV Anchor During Eagles Showdown

Sunday Night Football had more in store today! While fans were watching the action on the ground during the Buffalo Bills vs. Philadelphia Eagles game, the NFL Red Zone studios were witnessing some off-ground action as well. And Scott Hanson was at the center. Apparently, the Red Zone host was in the midst of the alarm blaring calling for an evacuation.

Pat McAfee, being a host on his own show, could relate to what was happening and then went ahead to give his two cents about the same on X.

Pat McAfee on Scott Hanson airing the show amidst the Eagles games

Pat McAfee poked a bit of fun at Scott Hanson going live and continuing the broadcast even in the middle of an evacuation program, saying, “Scott Hanson literally said “I hear your alarms and warnings trying to save my life but… I gotta do these top 5 plays of the day… SORRY BAHT IT”.

It was strange given the seriousness of the situation and the alarms going off. But, Hanson remained calm and discussed the plays of the week in the segment. “This is a first in my 20-something-year broadcasting career,” Hanson told viewers. “We have an alarm going off in the studios of NFL Red Zone right now, in our studios here in Inglewood, Calif. We are being told we need to evacuate the building. We do not know the nature of the emergency.” Hanson did show some guts as he continued through the sound alarms.

There’s no such case of sound alarms going off and the host maintaining his cool throughout the show!

He looked unflustered about the whole situation and chipped in with an old proverb regarding the same.

Hanson remarked- “I am reminded of an old Chinese proverb which says, ‘May you live to see interesting times,’ I’ve never had this happen before, I’m pretty sure all of our professionals haven’t either, but we soldier on …” Scott Hanson is almost a show veteran, hosting it since 2009 and covering the intricate details about the different games every Sunday. He also later tweeted the unusual sounds and called the episode “one to remember” once things turned normal once the crew was safe.

Scott Hanson has set a new precedent for all the hosts to follow. Showing terrific professionalism, Hanson kept calm amidst the chaotic situation.
