Stephen A. Smith is known for his hot takes and debates on ESPN’s “First Take.” However, his days arguing with current co-star Max Kellerman appear to be numbered.

According to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, Kellerman is expected to soon be removed from “First Take,” although that won’t signal the end of his time with the company. Marchand added that Kellerman is “likely to have an increased role on ESPN Radio and potentially his own TV show.”

But what about the future of “First Take”? Who is going to step in to debate with Smith?

Well, Marchand also reported that ESPN isn’t planning to bring in a permanent replacement for Kellerman, instead opting to go with a rotation of analysts, including some who will likely come from “Get Up,” another show on the network. Molly Qerim is expected to continue to host “First Take.”

Smith has long been one of the faces of ESPN, and that will continue to be the case for a while, considering Marchand previously reported that Smith signed a five-year, $60 million deal with the network in 2019.

Meanwhile, Kellerman had been featured on “First Take” since July 2016. He’s hosted “The Max Kellerman Show” on ESPN Radio since last August, and he also hosts “Max on Boxing” on ESPN2.
