Stephen A. Smith just found out what it feels like to be on the other side of the hot seat.
On the Aug. 19 episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show, the outspoken commentator was joined by his 16-year-old daughter Samantha, who didn’t hold back as she spent the appearance roasting her famous dad.
Samantha, who turns 17 later this month, later posted her favorite moments from the show to Instagram.
In one clip, she casually dropped, “I do date,” prompting a stunned Smith to fire back, “What?! When? Get back here!”
In another exchange, he asked why Love Island is so popular.
Her reply? “Don’t you want to find love? Put me on Love Island,” she teased.
But it was her closing sendoff that sealed the deal.
“Yes, his forehead still has space left, you guys. There will always be space,” she cracked while covering his head with her hand. She then delivered the knockout: “No, he cannot afford a hair transplant. Keep watching so he can afford it.”

Just last year, he admitted he dropped $20,000 on Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets so his daughters could experience the concert.
