Former NFL Star Cam Newton Lands Job On ESPN’s “First Take”

ESPN is adding former NFL MVP Cam Newton to its signature weekday series “First Take.”

The morning show, hosted by Stephen A. Smith and Molly Qerim, have become a staple of ESPN’s lineup during the 10 a.m. to noon hours.

“Cam Newton’s addition to “First Take” brings an electrifying presence, enhancing our roster of top-tier personalities,” said David Roberts, executive VP and executive editor of sports news and entertainment at ESPN. “His dynamic charisma, combined with the high-profile debates alongside #StephenASmith, will create compelling, must-watch television for fans.”

Newton will make his “First Take” debut Friday, Oct. 11 during a live taping at Tennessee State University as part of the program’s HBCU roadshow.
