A Bathrobe, A Selfie, And A Storm of Praise
It’s not every day that a sports talk show host sets the internet ablaze without even stepping onto a set. But this week, Molly Qerim—beloved anchor of ESPN’s “First Take”—did just that, sparking a viral moment by posting a simple Instagram story. The image? Qerim, 39, relaxed in a bathrobe, perched on her bed, giving a shout-out to her makeup artist for the flawless look.
Fans, already accustomed to Molly’s signature style and confidence on air, flooded social media with praise. But this time, it wasn’t about a dazzling outfit or a sharp debate—it was about her effortless, off-duty glamour. The reaction was instant: admiration, memes, and plenty of fire emojis.
From UConn to Sports Media Stardom
But Molly Qerim’s journey is more than just viral moments and polished appearances. A proud graduate of UConn with a bachelor’s in communications and a minor in business administration, she took her first steps in sports broadcasting as an anchor and reporter for CBS Sports Network. Her drive and presence quickly propelled her forward.
Before landing the coveted “First Take” hosting gig in 2015, Qerim made her mark as the host of “College Football Live” on ESPN and ESPN 2, and later as a key personality on NFL Network. Her rise was fueled by sharp instincts, a commanding on-camera presence, and the ability to hold her own alongside sports media heavyweights.
First Take On The Road—and Molly In Command
These days, Molly shares the “First Take” stage with Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe, most recently broadcasting live from NRG Stadium for the College Football Playoff National Championship between Michigan and Washington. Whether she’s moderating heated debates or previewing big games, Qerim’s poise and quick wit make her the anchor fans trust.
Expert Perspective: More Than Just a Viral Star
Media analyst Dr. Rachel Lin tells Daily Mail: “Molly Qerim represents the new era of sports broadcasting—where personality, intelligence, and authenticity matter as much as knowledge. Viral moments like this only reinforce her connection with fans.”
Former ESPN host Cari Champion tweeted, “Molly’s always been real. That’s why she’s still at the top.”
A Legacy Beyond the Likes
For Molly, the bathrobe selfie is just another chapter in a career defined by substance and style. She’s not afraid to show her personality, and she’s earned respect in a field where women are often judged by more than their analysis.
As “First Take” continues to travel and tackle the biggest stories in sports, Molly Qerim remains the steady center—unapologetically herself, whether in a designer dress or a bathrobe.
