Skip Bayless Is Leaving FS1’s ‘Undisputed’

First Shannon Sharpe, now longtime co-host Skip Bayless is reportedly on his way out from FS1’s Undisputed, too.

According to Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post, Bayless is leaving his role at Undisputed after eight years, and his final show is set for later this summer.

Glasspiegel also noted that Fox Sports PR declined to comment on Bayless’ impending exit.

Bayless has been with the sports talk show on FS1 since its premiere in 2016.

After a brief hiatus after Sharpe left, the new format kicked back off featuring rotating panelists like Keyshawn Johnson, Michael Irvin, Richard Sherman, Rachel Nichols and Paul Pierce. It was a good look but it just failed to attract the same ratings compared to the one-on-one debate format between Bayless and Sharpe. Even hitting an all time low

The tabloid reports that Skip signed a four-year, $32 million deal with FS1 in 2021.

Is FS1 on the brinks of loosing another big personality?
