‘First Take’ star Shannon Sharpe appeared to take a swipe at former ‘Undisputed’ co-host Skip Bayless during his ‘Nightcap’ show on Sunday night.

Bayless has been named in a bombshell lawsuit, with Front Office Sports breaking the news on Sunday. The former FS1 analyst is being sued by hairstylist Noushin Faraji, who worked at FOX for 12 years up until last August.

Faraji has made claims of Skip harassing her, touching her inappropriately, and offering her $1.5 million to sleep with him.

FOX executive Charlie Dixon and show host Joy Taylor are also being accused of various offenses in the suit, while Sharpe is briefly mentioned. According to Faraji, Bayless accused her of sleeping with the former NFL star while trying to get her into his own bed.

Shannon Sharpe Wanted His Turn

Sharpe went live with ‘Nightcap’ co-host Chad Johnson after Sunday’s NFL action and, at one point, was heard dropping Skip’s classic “It’s my turn,” seemingly taking a shot at the veteran journalist.

Sharpe also briefly discussed the suit on his show, stating he had nothing to address as he wasn’t accused of doing anything.

“That has nothing to do with me. There’s nothing to address. In those 42 pages, it doesn’t mention that Shannon Sharpe did anything,” he said. “But you all want to get clicks, so you mention me.”

Shannon and Skip worked together on ‘Undisputed’ for seven years before they split in 2023 when some bad blood arose between them.

The former later transitioned to ESPN, while the latter remained at FOX until he was let go after ratings plummeted in the wake of his former co-host’s departure.
