Sports media’s meme machine is about to become a money machine.

Smith, 51, is in his second tenure at ESPN and rejoined the company on a full-time basis in 2012. Once the foil to Skip Bayless on First Take, Smith remained the co-star of the show following Bayless’ departure in 2016 and helped take it to new ratings heights with Max Kellerman.
