Molly Qerim, the host of ESPN’s First Take, recently celebrated a significant milestone on social media, marking her 10-year anniversary with the show. The 41-year-old broadcaster shared a heartfelt message with her 730,000-plus followers, expressing gratitude for their support. “Another NBA season in the books. Thank y’all for rocking with us 10 yrs & counting,” Qerim posted on Instagram. She added, “Time to work on my tan-lines, shut my brain off & be with the fam. See ya in a few weeks. Grateful always, MQ.”
Fans flooded her comments section, praising her for her achievements and wishing her a well-deserved vacation. Many highlighted her impact on the sports community, with one fan saying, “So amazing. Me as a sports fan, I love seeing you on set and doing your thing. Keep up the good work, beautiful.” Others echoed sentiments of appreciation, noting, “Enjoy your time off you earned it,” and “Thank you for your service.”
Qerim’s announcement comes on the heels of her candid revelation this past March about her personal health struggle with endometriosis, which required surgery after years of battling the condition. Her openness about her experience resonated with many, as she noted her hope that sharing her journey could help even one person facing similar challenges.
As Qerim takes this time to relax and recharge, her journey of resilience and success continues to inspire many in the sports industry and beyond.
