Friday’s program was presented remotely at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago.
One of the segments saw Smith answer a “student Q&A”, with the audience joining him and co-host Molly Qerim on stage.
“They better be prepared, I’m judging the quality of the question,” warned Smith.
The second guest to join them was Kennedy Tate from Dallas, Texas.

Qerim quickly asked if she was a Cowboys fan, but luckily for Smith, Tate quickly responded, “Oh my God, no. No.”
“I was about to have security remove you,” Smith admitted to the delight of the audience.
Tate then asked Smith if the New York Knicks’ New York Yankees would be next to win a championship.
“You have to go with the Yankees because they constantly knock on the door every day,” he explained.

Smith added that despite the summer struggles, he couldn’t see beyond players like Aaron Judge and Juan Soto when it came to the Yankees’ potential.
However, Smith also explained that another reason he opted for the Yankees was that he still felt the Knicks were not yet the best team in the NBA.
“My problem is I want to say the Knicks. But I know the Bostons (Celtics) better and I think the acquisition of Paul George with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey in Philly (76ers) is formidable,” he said.
“And that’s just taking into account the East, you have to look at the Western Conference and the firepower that is in the West.”
Smith added that he feels the Knicks are “on the rise” but that the final piece of the puzzle is still missing.
“They need a bonus number one scoring option,” he said.
