ESPN's First Take host Stephen A. Smith was booed by a live audience during an appearance on 'The Roommates Show' live podcast on or around June 20, 2026. The booing came in the wake of the New York Knicks winning an NBA championship, with New Yorkers apparently eager to confront Smith in person over his past criticisms of the team. Smith acknowledged his errors, stating 'I was beyond wrong' regarding his previous takes on the Knicks.
