Stephen A. Smith has some “First Take” plans.
On Friday, the ESPN “First Take” host addressed the rumors of the move with Sharpe,in June, after Smith teased his Twitter followers about the upcoming news.“I’m not going to tell you it’s true, but I’m not going to tell you it’s not,”“Yeah, the talks are serious. I want this brother on ‘First Take’… I want him to have a shinier light placed on him than a few of the times we last saw him,” he continued.
A potential move to “First Take” would enable him to continue to build on his podcast “Club Shay Shay,” which boasts 1.23 million subscribers on YouTube.The role would likely be as a part-time contributor, as Smith likes to have a rotating panel of co-hosts rather than a permanent partner. “I want Shannon Sharpe on ‘First Take’ and I aim to get him…..I’m hopeful. I’m very hopeful and very confident that ultimately we will be announcing sooner than later that he will be on ‘First Take,'” Smith said.
