Stephen A. Smith Steps into the Political Arena

Stephen A. Smith is making a bold move into the political sphere. Known for his sports commentary, he's now ready to tackle politics and culture head-on.

Starting September 17th, he'll host a live political show called "Straight Shooter with Stephen A. Smith" on SiriusXM's POTUS channel. This is a significant step for him, as he's recently been delving into these topics.

But that's not all. He's also bringing his daily show, "The Stephen A. Smith Show", to SiriusXM's Mad Dog Sports Radio. And let's not forget, he's still hosting ESPN's morning show, "First Take". It's a packed schedule, but Smith seems ready to take it all on.

A New Challenge

This expansion shows that Smith is not afraid to take on new challenges. But will his sports fans follow him into the world of politics? Only time will tell. One thing's for sure, though. With Smith at the helm, it's going to be a lively discussion.
