Sports talk personality Skip Bayless is reportedly leaving FS1's ‘Undisputed’

After co-host Shannon Sharpe left last summer, FS1 sports talk show “Undisputed” may be undergoing an even more seismic change.

On Monday, Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post reported that Skip Bayless, who has hosted the show for the last eight years, will be leaving the network with his last show set for later this summer.

Bayless, one of the biggest names in sports media, left ESPN in what was seen as something of a coup back in 2016. He had previously hosted the show “First Take” for the network from 2007-16.

Now, he’s reportedly a free agent again.

Glasspiegel reports that the show has seen a dip in ratings since Sharpe’s departure following the 2023 NBA Finals. After taking several months off, the program returned with a new format that featured a rotating panel of guests joining Bayless.

Bayless was reaching the end of his current deal with Fox Sports, which the New York Post’s Andrew Marchand reported in 2021 to be worth $32 million over four years.

According to Glasspiegel, “Undisputed” is expected to continue without Bayless.
