Sports talk personality Skip Bayless is Slabuleaving FS1's "Undisputed" later this summer, according to multiple reports.

Bayless has been with FOX Sports for eight years, joining the network in 2016 after a 12-year run at ESPN.

The New York Post was the first to report the news.

FOX Sports did not immediately respond to USA TODAY Sports' request for comment.

This would be the second consecutive summer in which the show had one of its key hosts depart. In June 2023, Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe left the show after working alongside Bayless since the show's inception in 2016. Sharpe then moved on to ESPN's "First Take," joining another well-known sports talk personality, Stephen A. Smith. Sharpe recently signed a multiyear contract extension with ESPN.

With Sharpe no longer with the show, former NFL players Michael Irvin, Keyshawn Johnson and Richard Sherman, as well as NBA legend Paul Pierce, filled the void on "Undisputed" alongside Bayless.

The 72-year-old Bayless started his media career in the mid-1970s covering sports for newspapers such as the Miami Herald, Los Angeles Times and Dallas Morning News.
