Molly Qerim is used to being showered with compliments on First Take pretty much during every episode. She is an insanely gorgeous woman whose outfits are always eyebrow-raising.
The ESPN host was compared to a “president’s wife” by colleagues Stephen A. Smith and Marcus Spears on the latest edition of the show.
Molly and Stephen A. were finally back inside ESPN studios in Manhattan after broadcasting from the West Coast earlier this week. They were joined by Spears and Chris “Mad Dog” Russo to discuss all things sports.
At one point, the conversation shifted to Molly’s looks.
Spears complimented Qerim on her stunning red dress, saying she looked like a “president’s wife.”
After Qerim asked which one, Stephen A. was quick to enter the conversation to make things awkward.
“It ain’t Barack Obama. There’s only one. There’s only one, that’s Michelle,” Smith said. “I would say, to answer the question, to honestly answer the question, I mean, we could go back to JFK, we could go to Ronald Reagan. JFK, Ronald Reagan.”
“I’m sorry to say this,” Smith continued as he sat up in his chair. “Don’t take this wrong, Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. I’m just telling you. I gave you three…I gave you JFK, but, Bill Clinton too.”
That is when Molly finally had enough and wanted to sign off on the show.
“It’s time for you to leave,” Qerim said as she rolled her eyes at the suggestion of Bill Clinton. “He always has to go too far.”
Qerim would swiftly move the show onto its next segment, discussing the San Francisco 49ers showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
For that game, the Philadelphia Eagles are 10-1 while the San Francisco 49ers come into Lincoln Financial Field with an 8-3 record. This game has huge playoff implications for whichever team wins and loses.

Ryan Caldwell, the Philadelphia Eagles fan who went viral for cruelly verbally abusing Green Bay Packers fan Ally Keller during Sunday’s Wild Card Round game, has broken his silence on the incident.
Keller attended the game at Lincoln Financial Field with her fiancé, Alexander Basara. The latter shared a viral video of Ryan Caldwell verbally abusing Keller and using derogatory language towards her.
The Eagles have since announced that Caldwell has received a lifetime ban from home games. He was also fired from his job as a project manager at the BCT Partners consulting firm.
Speaking to Jenna Lemoncelli of the New York Post, Ryan Caldwell expressed remorse for his actions and apologized to Keller. He also claims that the video shared by Basara doesn’t provide the entire “context” of their verbal altercation:
“While attending an NFL game last Sunday to support my beloved Philadelphia Eagles, an incident occurred that I deeply regret. What began as banter with two Packers fans sitting near me escalated to something more serious, and I said things that were unacceptable. In the heat of the moment, I chose unforgiving words to address one of the fans, Ms. Ally Keller.
I want to sincerely apologize to Ms. Keller for those words, and to my wife, family, and friends, my former employer and colleagues, Packer fans, Eagle fans, the Philadelphia Eagles, the City of Philadelphia, and all who were offended.
That said, there are two sides to every story. The video clip circulating online does not reflect the full context of what transpired, and my actions were not without provocation. I will live with this experience, and I am certainly paying a personal price. For those who don’t know me, this incident does not reflect my values or the respect I have for others and is not indicative of the person I am.”
