It's official: Skip Bayless is going back to ESPN, where he will join Stephen A. Smith to make recurring appearances on First Take beginning this month.
Smith made the announcement Friday afternoon while Bayless was joining him on his SiriusXM Mad Dog Sports Radio show. The duo announced Bayless will join Smith every Friday on SiriusXM, and the last Friday of every month on First Take.
"Let me alert the public to what's going on," Smith began. "On Fridays, yours truly and the one and only Skip Bayless will be joining me on this show. So, let's get that out the way. That's every Friday, the beatdown is coming, my condolences to you. But the other part that everybody needs to know, starting next week, the last Friday of every single month, Skip Bayless will join yours truly on First Take. You are back, my brother."
After a decade-long hiatus from ESPN, Bayless returned to First Take for a one-day reunion with Smith earlier this year. And regardless of whether it was a hit with sports fans, it was a hit with Bayless, who told Smith the reunion they had last May was the "most fun" he had in a long time, while sharing his excitement about getting to do it again.
"I am personally highly entertained by getting to sit across from you," Bayless told Smith. "You are a one and an only, and I do believe what you and I had, and will have, is a one and an only."
