Skip Bayless is leaving FS1 and his role on “Undisputed” after eight years
The long-time co-host of Undisputed will have his last show later this summer, according to the New York Post’s Ryan Glasspiegel.
This marks the second summer in a row that an Undisputed co-host will depart the network. Bayless’s longtime debate partner Shannon Sharpe left after the NBA Finals in 2023.
He was followed by a rotating cast of co-hosts that never seemed to create the same energy as the Bayless-Sharpe tandem.
Glasspiegel reports Undisputed is expected to continue without Bayless.
Bayless left ESPN for FS1 in 2016 and found success with Undisputed.
He had reportedly signed a four-year, $32 million deal to stay with Fox Sports in 2021.
It was reported ESPN at the time that ESPN had interest in a reunion with Bayless.
There is no word yet on what Bayless’s next move will be.
