Wed Feb 05 02:40:00 UTC 2025: ## ESPN’s Molly Qerim Has a Hilariously Awkward Day on ‘First Take’

**New York, NY** – ESPN’s “First Take” co-host Molly Qerim experienced a series of unfortunate events during Tuesday’s live broadcast, resulting in a viral moment for the typically polished presenter. First, a fit of laughter brought on by co-host Stephen A. Smith led to Qerim spitting coffee across her desk. The mishap, which required cleanup from the crew, was quickly followed by another incident involving co-host Dan Orlovsky. A basketball, tossed playfully by Orlovsky, struck Qerim in the face, prompting an expletive and a humorous, albeit frustrated, exit from the set.

Qerim later took to social media, sharing a fan’s reaction to the viral clips and jokingly blaming her co-hosts for the chaotic day. Despite the on-air mishaps, Qerim’s professionalism is well-known, with co-host Cam Newton previously praising her as a “f***ing beast.” The incidents have only served to highlight her relatable human side, adding a touch of humor to her typically impeccably presented on-air persona. The “First Take” crew is expected to return to its usual high-energy broadcast this week.
