00:00Let's get to know the replacement of First Take's Molly Karam. ESPN reporter Courtney Cronin stepped
00:05in for Molly Karam on Thursday's episode of First Take, and she made the most of it.
00:09An award-winning journalist, Cronin joined ESPN in August 2017 and has covered both the Minnesota
00:15Vikings and Chicago Bears throughout her reporting career. While she's not a regular face on
00:19television, she's no stranger to the spotlight, having appeared on shows like SportsCenter
00:23and Around the Horn. Before joining ESPN, Courtney Cronin worked as a reporter for the San Jose
00:28Mercury News, where she covered a range of major Bay Area teams, including the Golden State Warriors,
00:33San Francisco 49ers, and San Jose Sharks. Though she's made headlines in the past for her sharp NFL
00:39reporting, it was Cronin's fashion sense that had fans talking on Thursday. Filling in for Molly
00:43Karam on First Take, she turned heads with a bold, all-pink ensemble that she proudly showcased on
00:48social media ahead of the show. NFL fans didn't hold back with the praise. Wow, love the outfit!
00:54One fan wrote,
00:55Girl, that is your color! Looking so good!"
00:57Another Instagram user added,
00:59Cronin is back in the host's chair for First Take this Friday,
01:01continuing her impressive run on the popular ESPN show. While the network hasn't revealed
01:06any long-term plans regarding her role, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Cronin featured
01:09more prominently moving forward. With her sharp insight and growing fanbase,
01:13she's clearly making a strong impression.
