Shannon Sharpe leaving FS1's 'Undisputed'

Shannon Sharpe and Fox Sports have "reached a buyout agreement." Sharpe’s final "Undisputed" show is "expected to be aired after the 2023 NBA Finals conclude" in June. Sharpe’s popular "Club Shay Shay" podcast, which "draws a big audience" on social media and YouTube, will also be leaving Fox Sports. People close to Sharpe said privately "he did not seek to be the unquestioned leader on the show," but "wanted to be an equal" with co-host Skip Bayless in the program’s topic selection. Sharpe and Bayless have "seemingly been at odds for months" (N.Y. POST, 5/31).
