First Things First (FTF) is an American sports and entertainment talk show starring Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes.

However, its early morning (6 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.) time slot, described as a "black hole" by Sporting News, was used to air game replays and reruns of other shows.

[5] When Cowherd went on vacation in December 2016, then Fox Sports executive Jamie Horowitz had Wright and former NFL wide receiver Cris Carter co-host The Herd, using this as a test of on-air chemistry between the two.

[6] The show premiered on September 5, 2017,[2] and featured Carter and Wright debating sports topics, with Wolfe serving as co-host and moderator.

[9] In February 2020, television producer and development executive Kevin Wildes was announced to join Wright and Wolfe on the show.

[11] In August 2020, former NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall was announced as the fourth on-air personality as First Things First fully shifted to a panel format.

[17] Former NFL wide receiver Greg Jennings and head coach Eric Mangini have also appeared on the show as guest panelists.
