On Monday, Jan. 29 ahead of SUPER BOWL LII, ESPN will debut its first episodic digital show that will be streamed three times per week exclusively on Facebook Watch. First Take: Your Take will tailor ESPN's popular FIRST TAKE television program to Facebook's new social video platform with content that incorporates viewer interaction and engagement.
The show's exclusive content will begin on Mondays with traditional studio segments, as host Molly Qerim and featured commentators Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman debate the hottest topics in sports. Viewers will then be able to share their own takes by uploading their videos on Facebook, some of which will then be packaged into the show's episodes on Wednesdays. The week will culminate on Fridays with episodes featuring one lucky fan debating directly with a FIRST TAKE commentator. "I'm excited about this new venture," said Smith. "Despite First Take's success, this is yet another forward step in our venture to increase our audience, reminding all of them that 'There Is No Success For Us Without You.' Our latest attempt to build via social media should serve as an emphatic piece of evidence that the entire FIRST TAKE family fully recognizes complacency is our ultimate enemy. We won't allow it. So, yet again, here we come!"Videos
