Cause of Molly Qerim First Take absence revealed after ESPN fans grew concerned
Molly Qerim’s absence from ESPN’s First Take will soon come to an end as the cause of her disappearance from the weekday sports program in recent days has been revealed.
Fans had grown concerned over Qerim’s unexplained absence from First Take, with none of her fellow panelists or interim presenters commenting on her status.
Qerim has been with the show since returning to ESPN in 2015 and has become a fan favorite for her ability to navigate the stronger on-air personalities like Stephen A. Smith, Shannon Sharpe and Chris āMad Dogā Russo.
Qerim’s break from First Take was a pre-planned break, with the 40-year-old wanting to take it easy before the NBA and college basketball seasons started. The sun.
Outside of her public on-air life, Qerim has a desire to disconnect from social media and the outside world as much as possible during her free time, which explains her lack of acknowledgment of her own break.

Qerim will return to her duties as moderator of the program next Monday
Qerim’s return has already been announced to DailyMail.com and will take place on Monday.
Qerim’s fans will also be relieved to know that her split had nothing to do with her health or caused by a larger shift in her role within ESPN.
In her absence, interim moderators included Russo, Shae Cornette and Christine Williamson.
That trio has had varying degrees of success in containing the shouting matches of the strong personalities around them.
It has also shed light on how tough Qerim’s normal responsibilities are on the show, five days a week.
And in three days, everything will be normal for First Take fans.
