Days After Several Firings by $10,000,000,000 Worth Media House, Stephen A. Smith Addresses “Other Aspirations”

Stephen A. Smith has been a household name when it comes to sports analysts. He has been in this world for nearly three decades and has made quite a name for himself. Smith’s takes may be controversial but the numbers and viewership he brings in cannot be argued with. However, there are other things at the back of his mind when all this is over and what he’d like to do in the future.

The $10 billion worth of network went on to fire several notable names in the past few days. However, Smith was one of the few who was safe from being sacked. But he has his sights set on something else entirely after his stint with ESPN.

Stephen A. Smith’s other aspirations

Stephen A. Smith could be considered the face of ESPN when it comes to analysts for basketball. He has branched out to The Stephen A. Smith Show where he talks about topics for a more mature audience.

But one thing that Smith has his eyes set on is hosting a late-night television show. Specifically, The Jimmy Kimmel Show. The veteran NBA analyst has been a guest host on the show but to host it full-time would be ideal for him.

According to The Athletic, Smith said, “I would jump at the opportunity to try and prove I could do that. I would really enjoy making people smile and laugh.” So, if in the near future, Jimmy Kimmel ever does decide to step down, Stephen A. Smith would love to take a crack at it.

Though Smith still has two more years left on his contract with ESPN, he does want to explore other ventures in the future.

Will Smith branch out even further?
