Sharpe recently made the switch over from FS1 show Undisputed, where he faced off with veteran analyst Skip Bayless.
After broadcasting from Boulder, Colorado, on Friday, the First Take crew took up residence in unfamiliar surroundings once again.
Host Molly Qerim introduced fans to their "West Coast studio" in the opening moments of Monday's show.
Instead of the usual backdrop of New York's East River, the new studio has a more homely feel.

It features a host of golden shelves, with plant pots and flatscreen TVs obscuring a view of downtown Los Angeles.
Molly announced that the team was now "in Shannon's neck of the woods."
And the new studio went down a treat with fans on social media.
One wrote: "This set on First Take looks great."

Another said: "Absolutely loving the LA First Take studio!!"
While a third added: "Looks like First Take has a new set. It’s as if the previous First Take set had a baby with Undisputed’s set. Guess they made the change to make Shannon more comfortable."
Last week, Stephen A. opened up on his relationship with his former First Take colleague Max Kellerman.
Smith admitted he "didn't like working" with his ex-partner, who left the ESPN program two years ago.
He told the The Joe Budden Podcast: "It was totally my fault [Kellerman left First Take] and the reason it was my fault is because I didn’t like working with him.
"It’s just that damn simple. I didn’t like it. I thought the show was stale. I thought that we had flatlined when it came to the public at large.
"I didn’t want to go from No. 1 to No. 2. when Skip [Bayless] left. I wasn’t having that. That s*** wasn’t gonna happen."
