Warning: Once you’ve heard Skip Bayless detail the preparation that went into his recent colonoscopy, there is no going back.
On the latest episode of The Skip Bayless Show podcast, the former FS1 host put the Los Angeles Lakers, the LeBron-Bronny James NBA debut and the Dallas Cowboys on hold to discuss something more important. His colonoscopy from last Friday and the preparation of cleaning out his hindquarters ahead of that procedure.
The 72-year-old Bayless should be commended for bringing awareness to the importance of screening for colorectal cancer. “I do believe in this ultimate screening for colon cancer,” Bayless said while encouraging his listeners to have a colonoscopy.
Bayless, however, didn’t stop there. Have you ever imagined Skip Bayless pooping? No? Well, if you keep reading, you’re about to because Bayless is like the Vin Scully of painting a picture to describe the intricacies of drinking a prescription laxative ahead of a colonoscopy.

“Not to get too graphic,” Bayless said before getting too graphic. “But within 10 minutes, I was sitting on the toilet. At first, some pretty solid poop flies out of you. Then, all of a sudden, it bizarrely goes to straight water. Niagara Falls right out of your butt! It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t make you nauseous, it just feels weird. You are power peeing right out of your hiney…Niagara Falls comes right out of your butt. Straight water. 100mph, power-splashing right into your toilet bowl.”
Maybe it’s fitting that after nearly breaking the internet with his “all in, my ass” tweet, Bayless is now detailing a waterfall coming right out of his ass.
“Now that it’s over, I am very glad I had my colonoscopy,” Bayless said after noting that the doctor had told him everything looked fine. “Not only for the screening, but the cleaning.”
When Bayless promised an unfiltered version of himself now that he is free of TV’s “boundaries or handcuffs” this probably isn’t what audiences envisioned. But now that he got that out of his system, Bayless can return to dumping on LeBron James and the Dallas Cowboys.
