Molly Qerim is no longer the host of ESPN's First Take, as the long-time host addressed her departure from the show in an emotional statement on Tuesday. Stephen A. Smith later followed that up, claiming she "abruptly resigned" from her position.
After nearly 20 years at ESPN and a decade hosting First Take, Qerim's departure leaves a big opening for the network to fill. ESPN's bench is deep, but finding a replacement who can host one of its flagship shows could prove difficult.
