ESPN just replaced one talented and beautiful host, with another just as talented in so many ways.
We reported last month that Molly Qerim, a reporter with the NFL Network, was set become the third member and co-host on the Mike and Mike radio show.
That idea has been scrapped — with Qerim now replace Cari Champion as the host of ESPN’s First Take.
Molly Qerim, who began her career working for ESPN digital media and ESPN Mobile, will rejoin the company Wednesday, July 1.
Her first assignment will be as host of ESPN2’s SportsNation (3-4 p.m. ET) Wednesday, July 1, and Thursday, July 2 (Michelle Beadle is off). On Monday, July 13, she will begin her role as interim host of ESPN2’s First Take (10 a.m.), moderating debate between Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless.
Qerim could be headed to bigger and brighter things as well, especially if she can keep Stephen A. and Skip Bayless in check.
