Shannon Sharpe and Stephen A. Smith have been developing their on-screen dynamic on First Take after the former NFL Hall of Famer left Fox Sports 1. While the two have shown great chemistry with each other, it hasn’t stopped Sharpe from making an amusing mistake on multiple occasions.
During his first week on the show, Sharpe called Stephen A. Smith by the wrong name, referring to him as ‘Skip’ several times. Smith brushed it off as a harmless mix-up, but that didn’t stop fans online from poking fun at Sharpe’s blunder.
In a more recent episode of First Take, while discussing the opening weekend of the NFL season, Sharpe once again referred to Smith as ‘Skip.’ This time, he was visibly frustrated by his own error, but Smith was quick to provide support and encouragement for his colleague. The pair’s rapport continues to strengthen as they navigate their new working relationship.
