Molly Qerim’s Big Move: Leaves ESPN & “First Take” After Two Decades

Change is coming to the sports talk world. Molly Qerim, who has hosted ESPN’s “First Take” since 2015 and been part of ESPN even longer, has confirmed she will leave both the show and the network by end of 2025.


Qerim’s decision marks the end of an era for “First Take” — a show known for its debates, big opinions, and loud voices. While there’s no official word on her next move, her departure raises a lot of questions:

Why now? In her statement, she thanked fans and colleagues. But sources suggest she wants space for different challenges or to create something of her own.

Impact on the show: “First Take” has built its brand around energetic dialogue. Replacing her will require someone who can bring both credibility and spark.

Broader context: Women in sports broadcasting often deal with pressures different from their male counterparts. Qerim's exit may spark conversations about longevity, opportunity, and recognition in the industry.


Transitions are always awkward but also full of potential. For your readers: keep watching who takes her place—and what new projects she steps into.

Meta accidentally posted details about its upcoming smart glasses — complete with an integrated display — just ahead of the official reveal at Connect 2025. The blog post was quickly removed, but the hint is enough to set expectations high. Meta’s next smart glasses are shaping up to be more than just accessories; the rumored integrated display means users might finally get notifications, media, or augmented reality (AR) features directly in the frames.
