Stephen A is simply taking whatever position to keep the viewership drawn in and first take is at a huge risk of losing its black audience. When skip the master troll and shannon sharpe a much more credible black man than stephen A who doesn't have a history of c00nin get they show started at the same time slot as 1st take, 1st take is in serious trouble. Hell they got a even more credible artist to do their opening theme in lil wayne. Espn sees it coming down the line and know what kind of trouble that show is in. And 1 thing white supremacist knows is, they can't use a black man for their bidding who has lost all his credibility with the black community. That is why you see news stations not using larry elder, jesse Lee peterson, you seeing the view move away from the time they give raven symone, their huge c00ning eventually alienates the black community that these shows need for the views and the sponsors. So unless stephen A and max get like fox news and draw all the older white supremacist to the show so they won't need a huge black viewership, Stephen A better start rebuilding some credibility to keep black folks watching, especially with the Nfl and new NBA seasons approaching and racial politics sure to continue to dominate social topics as the election approaches. Dude ain't slick and once he feels he still has the viewership he will be right back to full time c00ning, just now he purposely straddling the fence and playing a bit of both sides.
