Nick Wright torches Stephen A. Smith for Election Night take

Stephen A. Smith put on his political expert hat to try to analyze the results of the 2026 midterm elections. And Fox Sports rival Nick Wright is already calling him out. In many ways, Wright is FS1’s answer to Smith’s presence at ESPN. Both are the centerpiece of what many see as the network’s flagship daytime show. And both have very strong opinions. While Smith naturally carries the bigger audience on ESPN with First Take , Wright’s work is growing in respect and popularity at First Things First.
