Skip Bayless and FS1 are still searching for a permanent replacement for Shannon Sharpe after he exited the popular sports debate show after the conclusion of the NBA Finals.
Since then, there have been reports about potential replacements including LeSean McCoy and Richard Sherman, but neither has been formally offered the role. In the meantime, Skip is tagging in his friend and sports lover Lil Wayne to make some guest appearances to bridge the gap between Sharpe's exit and the show's new co-host.
Bayless announced on his podcast, The Skip Bayless Show, that Lil Wayne will appear on the show every Friday for a live segment with Skip. "He is so deep when it comes to sports," Skip said of Wayne. "He doesn't yell or scream, but he does get emotional. And you hang on his every word because, trust me, he has thought through every single word." He added, "I like to say that I see things and say things others don't; Wayne is my match, [...] That's why I love him so much. That's why we text so much about sports. We're kindred spirits, but we do see things differently, but very deeply."
