Usually, First Take is broadcast with the crew together in California or New York.
But next week, instead, First Take is traveling for HBCU homecoming.
The show will make pit stops at Savannah State University, Sharpe's alma mater, and Winston-Salem State University, Stephen A.'s alma mater.
Savannah State is located in Georgia, while Winston-Salem State is just north in North Carolina.
