The pair missed the show on Thursday and Friday as it was moved to ESPN 2 due to The Masters golf tournament.

Qerim returned to the ESPN New York studios on Monday and was seemingly keen to make an impression.

It took just minutes into the broadcast for Stephen A. to notice his co-star of almost a decade was lighting up the screen with the eye-catching wardrobe choice.

“What is going on here,” interrupted Smith as Molly attempted to introduce Shannon Sharpe to the show.

“You see Molly, does she think she’s Captain Marvel or something?”

“It’s Elastigirl!” yelled NFL Hall of Famer Sharpe, referencing the character from Disney’s The Incredibles.

“You see what I’m seeing Shannon, you see what I’m seeing?!” added an incredulous Smith.
