As Shannon Sharpe attempted to console an emotional Stephen A. Smith who was berating a second straight NBA Playoffs loss for his beloved New York Knicks, Qerim quickly intervened.

Walking on set in a floor-length bright yellow and black sleeveless dress, her look was completed with a pair of black heels.

Qerim’s ensemble coupled with her wavy locks quickly caught the attention of fans on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“She walked out killing that dress…” one fan commented.

“Molly in yellow is undoubtedly her color,” a second added.

“@MollyQerim oh my you are on fire today!!” replied another.

While a fourth simply said, “You so d**n beautiful Molly.”

Qerim first joined the show in 2015 following the departure of Carli Champion.

She and Smith have gone on to lead the show to dizzying new heights.

In a recent press release, ESPN revealed that the show averaged 482,000 viewers in April.
