Skip Bayless done at Fox Sports, ‘Undisputed’

Skip Bayless is done at Fox Sports and “Undisputed.”

Bayless, who didn’t announce the end of his eight-year run on the air Friday, posted to social media with the news.

“Today was my last show on Undisputed,” Bayless posted. “I’m leaving FS1. I’ve been planning to pursue other opportunities for several months. I had a great 8-year run with a lot of great people at FOX, but now I’m excited for what’s coming up. Stay tuned.”

Bayless, 72, did the show Friday with co-hosts Paul Pierce and Keyshawn Johnson before breaking the news on social media.

News of a potential departure started spreading Thursday night.

“I was given information that (Friday) will be Skip Bayless’s last day on FS1,” Marcellus Wiley, who previously worked at the network, said on his podcast Thursday.
