Normally, Molly Qerim co-hosts ESPN’s “First Take” alongside Stephen A. Smith, which now features Shannon Sharpe.
However, she has now been absent for the seventh time, leaving many fans to question whether or not she is okay.
Of course, with the NFL season in full swing, it’s not the best time for a big sports media figure like her to miss an extended period.
Fortunately, though, reports indicate that Qerim is set to return on Oct. 21, just a day before the start of the NBA season, and it all seems connected.
“Molly is a basketball expert first and foremost,” a source told The U.S. Sun. “She wants to be fresh and ready for the intense season ahead. When she is off, she is off. Molly wants a clean break, she has complete downtime. She disconnects almost completely to rest and have a normal, basic life, like everyone. She likes to chill and do simple things. Shopping, sleeping in and cooking at home.”
Luckily, if that source is correct, this seems to just be a case of Qerim needing some time to relax before two of the biggest North American sports simultaneously play.

Qerim has certainly been known to catch some strays from fans of the show occasionally, but you can’t deny that she has a good way of controlling some of the other hosts when things get out of hand.
Her experience within the sports media world also cannot be underestimated.

ESPN has been one of the world leaders in sports broadcasting for quite some time now. One of its most popular shows is First Take, hosted by Steven A. Smith and Molly Qerim.
The show’s fans noticed Qerim, particularly during Wednesday’s broadcast of the show Manhatten. Why did they notice the ESPN anchor? They noticed her for her “fashion game,” leading her to post what she wore to her nearly 700k Instagram followers.
Qerim posted a picture of the entire outfit, sporting a red, skin-tight tank top and a grey skirt, all complemented by a good old pair of high heels. Followers were quick to show their support for Qerim’s post.
Molly Qerim Is Going Viral After Stepping Out In NYC
Qerim captioned the stunning post “September in NYC,” and her followers went wild as one commenter said that whoever marries the ESPN anchor will be the ultimate winner in life, while another added that it should “be a crime for her to be a moderator and that hot at the same time.”
One fan called Qerim the “most beautiful woman alive,” and another commenter added that First Take co-host is “always elegant,” which, if we are being honest, is not at all far from the truth.

Qerim joined First Take in 2015 as a host, just months before she would make her position permanent. She got the position after earning her Bachelor of Arts at the University of Connecticut.
While Molly Qerim could indeed make a career as a model, it’s doubtful that she will, as the 40-year-old, do so anytime soon as it seems she genuinely enjoys her job as co-host of her wildly popular show.
