The Show Undisputed With Skip And Shannon
Undisputed is an American sports and entertainment talk show hosted by Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe. On September 6, 2016, Fox Sports 1 aired the series' premiere. "No Mercy," the show's opening theme song, was recorded by American rapper Lil Wayne, a friend of Bayless' and a frequent guest on his former ESPN show First Take. Jared Gutstadt, president and CCO of Jingle Punks Music, which had partnered with Fox Sports prior to the show's debut, wrote and produced the song. The series' highest-rated broadcast occurred in November 2022, following FS1's English language telecast of England vs Iran, when the show averaged 499,000 viewers.
What Happened To Undisputed With Skip And Shannon Show?
To begin with, Undisputed with Skip and Shannon has not been cancelled.
It's one of Fox's most popular daily shows, and it's not going anywhere, as far as we know. However, on February 20, the show did not air at its usual time, prompting fans to wonder what had happened to it:
Why Is Skip And Shannon Not On Today?
Simply put, Undisputed with Skip and Shannon is not airing this week due to the co-hosts' vacation. It's customary for TV shows like Undisputed and First Take to take a break after All-Star Weekend.
That's because the NFL season is over and there won't be any NBA games for a while. The next NBA game is on Thursday (23 February).
Skip and Shannon work hard all year covering various sports, so it's only fair that they get some well-deserved downtime during the offseason.
This gives them time to rest, recharge, and return in time for March Madness and the NBA playoffs.
When Will Undisputed Be Back On?
Skip Bayless tweeted on Sunday, February 19th, 'Vacation week this week. We'll see you in a week. 'However, I will be tweeting.'
That means Undisputed will return to the airwaves on Monday, February 27.
