STEPHEN A. Smith abruptly left the First Take set on live television due to a massive issue with ESPN colleague Dan Orlovsky.
The fiery personality was riled up with Orlovsky after the former NFL quarterback revealed how he flew to a destination and back during a recent vacation.

During Monday’s edition of First Take, Smith walked off the TV set after a vacation admission made by Dan Orlovsky[/caption]
Orlovsky returned to First Take on Monday after a three-week break.
Host Molly Qerim asked Orlovsky about his vacation to Hawaii, to which he replied “was amazing” and he “would go back in a heartbeat.”
However, Stephen A. Smith interrupted the former Detroit Lions signal-caller and asked him, “How’d you get there?”
Orlovsky answered, saying he and his whole family flew commercial.
His answer didn’t sit well with Smith, who then said, “You flew your wife coach from the East Coast to Hawaii, which is about 10 hours?”
Orlovsky confirmed that he and his family flew commercial to Hawaii and back home, which caused Stephen A. to walk off the First Take set in New York City.
The 41-year-old then said he was seated in the very last row and that he didn’t “regret not buying first class.”
NFL icon Chad Johnson, who was a guest on the show and is known for his money-saving thinking, then fist-bumped Orlovsky and agreed with his decision to fly coach.
“Move on with the segment, Molly, I don’t wanna listen,” Smith said while the cameras showed him off the set.
Fans were in hysterics over the live TV sequence on First Take.
“Hahaha this is too funny,” one wrote.
“Stephen A a diva lol,” another commented.
“Dan Orlovsky is a man of the people,” a third added.
