Skip Bayless will return to ESPN's 'First Take' every Friday.

He will have a part-time role at the network.

He will not be in a full-time role.

That is what Stephen A. Smith stated.

Michael Irvin is set to join the show each Monday during the football campaign.

Smith also backed that up.

Separately, Bayless criticised Kara Lawson and others.

He criticised them over Caitlin Clark's role in the FIBA World Cup Final.

His comments fuelled the debate about Clark's playing time in the championship game.
