Skip Bayless’s show Undisputed will return to Fox Sports 1 later this month with a new cast of characters. Former Pro Bowl cornerback Richard Sherman is one name who has already been reported as a cohost to Bayless, but it doesn’t stop there.
According to a report from Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand, former ESPN host Rachel Nichols will be a regular panelist on the program when it returns Aug. 28.
Nichols will join Sherman and renowned rapper Lil Wayne alongside Bayless, while Undisputed also looks for additional panelists to rotate in as part of the next iteration of the show.
In addition to Nichols, Ourand also reported that executives overseeing the program are looking into possibly adding Keyshawn Johnson or Michael Irvin into the fold. ESPN recently laid off Johnson as part of the network’s budget cuts. Irvin remains on suspension from NFL Network after an alleged inappropriate incident with a hotel employee during Super Bowl week.
Nichols has been working with Showtime after departing ESPN in 2021. Undisputed has been off the air for nearly two months as Bayless and fellow show executives began looking for a replacement for Shannon Sharpe, who left FS1 following a contract buyout.
