ESPN has laid off several prominent reporters in recent months, and they had another reporter disappear on live TV during a Wednesday edition of SportsCenter.
Dallas Cowboys reporter Todd Archer was on SportsCenter with Hannah Storm discussing Tony Romo. Storm asked Archer a question about Romo, and Archer just took off mid-interview.

Archer left without an explanation, and Storm was baffled. She handled it pretty well, though. She asked if Archer was going to look for Romo at that moment.
Archer still hasn't tweeted out an explanation. It was very peculiar, but it gave viewers a laugh.
@AJIsTheReal this is what we get from ESPN after they lay everyone off

😂 That would happen every day if I worked for ESPN. "Welp, there he goes again..."

A strange moment, indeed. And we might never find out the reason why Archer left.
