Latest News About The First Take

Here’s the latest I can share based on available public information:

• The First Take is a long-running ESPN sports talk show hosted by Stephen A. Smith and, as of 2025, Shae Cornette took on hosting duties after Molly Qerim’s tenure ended. The program continues to feature daily debates on top sports stories and guests.[2][3]
• Recent availability and distribution continue to include daily podcast and video segments, with episodes typically reflecting overnight and daytime sports news, including NBA, NFL, and other major sports topics.[1][2]

Notes:

• If you’d like, I can pull the very latest episode specifics (guest lineup, topics, and timestamps) from current episode listings or ESPN’s First Take pages, and provide a concise recap with citations. Would you like me to do that?[3][1]
