Shannon Sharpe Joins First Take (EDIT: ESPN Cuts Ties With Him)

I fukking hate screaming A Smif.... This is terrible

Consistent*

But it doesn’t matter if Shannon is a fan favorite on there. SAS doesn’t actually run anything over there, he’s just the face and has an influence. If those CACs tell him he’s with Shannon every segment then that’s what he’ll accept.

:sas: is the executive producer of the show so he has "power" per say

more pay and less work sounds like a win to me

How u know its more pay

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Sounds like a boring duo

It's like going from the main cast on the second most popular show on TV to a recurring role on the most popular show. The show you're going to is much popular but your part in it is drastically reduced.

This is what he WANTS though. If he’s happier being a recurring character on Game Of Thrones then why put up with bullshyt being on the main cast of Parks & Recreation?

If Shannon is happy with all of this then thats that

exactly doesn't have to get up at 4am or whatever every day now etc.

Better than Skip. Skip has been intolerable for at least 5 years now

I could see Shannon becoming a super Arsenio Hall and becoming the biggest talk show host in America one day soon if he strikes while the iron is hot

Those are a dying breed these days.

Is kim gonna be the new moderator? I dont see molly no more

She was on Wednesday with Mad Dog. She'll show up one day and then be missing the next few, although that's the case as well with SAS.

Wait until they ask him to start showing up on Get Up right before

 

[pimpineasy]

Fuels more question on whether sharpe was actually forced out due to favre lawsuit.
This is a lateral move that doesn't address any issues he had with skip a la authorship of shows topic etc. Only advantage is not having to deal with skip daily

 

[Dipsey Doo]

Skip being a habitual line stepper made the Skip/Shannon dynamic work

SAS and Shannon are two straight men without a foil to play off of.

I haven’t watched First Take since Skip left, and I probably won’t start now.
