Skip Bayless Reportedly Exiting ‘Undisputed’

The 72-year-old has been with the sports talk show on FS1 since its premiere in 2016.

After eight years, Skip Bayless will reportedly step down from his co-hosting duties on Undisputed.

According to the New York Post, 72-year-old Bayless will exit the long-running sports talk show at Fox Sports 1 at an unspecified date later this summer.

The news of Bayless’ departure from Undisputed comes a year after Shannon Sharpe, 56, who had also been co-hosting since the show’s premiere in 2016, left the program with a tearful final episode in June 2023.

The Post says the show is expected to continue despite the fact that its new format—which features rotating panelists like Keyshawn Johnson, 51, and Michael Irvin, 58—reportedly failed to attract the same ratings compared to the one-on-one debate format between Bayless and Sharpe.

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

Bayless has yet to comment on the matter on his social media accounts.
