It sure seems like Undisputed host Skip Bayless needs former co-host Shannon Sharpe more than Sharpe needs Skip.
Sharpe hasn’t said much about Bayless since his departure from FS1, but marketing executive Steve Stoute had no issue going at Bayless when making appearance on Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast.

“I watched your ex-host, Skip. I don’t even understand why all these other Black athletes even go on the show now. I don’t even understand what they’re doing!” Stoute ranted of Bayless and Undisputed. “To me, it’s so clear that he needs Black talent, athletes, rappers. He’s doing everything to prop himself up.”
“And I know he’s getting paid over there and everybody else is getting pennies on the dollar. And I’m like, ‘Why would you do that!?’ Why would you go over there and do that? He clearly isn’t the guy. He needs you! Why don’t everybody leave the show and let’s watch him do it for a minute. That show would be dead, immediately.”
FS1’s Undisputed has been trending down since Sharpe’s departure as it averaged a record-low 50,000 viewers on February 27, according to Sports Media Watch.
