Molly Qerim has been a staple on ESPN’s ‘First Take’ for years as the host, and now she’s leaving. This news came as a massive surprise to everyone after she dropped her last message on her Instagram story. While she expressed how grateful she was for this opportunity, Qerim also suggested her fans “stay tuned” as she navigated through the next chapter in her broadcasting career. Now, ESPN has finally broken the silence on Qerim’s resignation.
“Molly has been an integral part of ESPN since 2006 and a key driver of First Take’s success since joining as host a decade ago. She elevated the show with her poise, skill, and professionalism, while supporting others as a kind and encouraging teammate. We respect Molly’s decision, wish her the best in the future, and thank her for her extraordinary daily commitment to sports fans and ESPN.” This is what Burke Magnus, President of Content at ESPN, had to say about Qerim leaving the company.
