Molly Qerim announced late Monday night that she will be leaving ESPN and First Take, the hit morning show that she has hosted since 2015.
Qerim is not on Tuesday's show, even though reports said she won't be leaving the network until the end of the year. Instead, Stephen A. Smith kicked off the show with an emotional message about Qerim, her decision to leave, and what she has meant to him over the years.
