This is going to be fun.

Stephen A. Smith is certainly one of the biggest names in sports talk television. Overall, he is the man who has helped ESPN get through some pretty rough times. Although not everyone is a fan of his, he has certainly shown just how valuable he is to that company. Moreover, if it were not for him, there would be no one watching First Take. Not to mention, he and Skip Bayless helped pioneer the debate show format. For better or for worse, he is absolutely a legend of the game.

Subsequently, Stephen A. has inspired other shows like First Take. For instance, Cam'ron and Ma$e have their very own show called It Is What It Is. The show has proven to be fantastic. They make some hilarious jokes, and for the most part, the commentary is always unique. Compared to sports journalists, they have a more fan-based perspective that is typically irreverent and less manufactured. That said, it appears as though they have attracted the attention of ESPN's finest.

Stephen A. Has Cam'Ron Excited

In the Instagram post above, from the It Is What It Is page, Stephen A. could be seen on set with Cam'ron. The background is the official It Is What It Is set, and as Cam'ron explains, Smith is going to be featured on Episode 22. For now, it remains to be seen if this is an interview or an actual debate. If it is a debate, we could be seeing Smith in a whole new light. Whether or not ESPN is going to be fond of that, still remains to be seen.

No matter what, this episode is going to be a lot of fun. If you like It Is What It Is, this episode will be a must-watch.
