Cast
Bobby Bones
Bones is no stranger to reality TV shows - from 'Dancing with the Stars' where he even went home with the mirrorball trophy - to serving as a mentor on 'American Idol' Season 19, he has done it all. There were also rumors of him leading a season of 'The Bachelor' so you know, he really is no stranger to television shows. But there's more to him than just being a fixture on television.
He has been named Best Radio Personality by the Austin Music Awards for four years in a row and won the award for Best Radio Program in the early years of his career. A few years ago he and co-hosts Amy, Eddie, and Lunchbox won an Academy of Country Music Award for National On-Air Personality of the Year. But his radio career faced a major bump after he unintentionally triggered the Emergency Alert System by playing a clip of an EAS test from 2011 over the airwaves. The audio then triggered alerts to thousands of AT&T customers' phones and televisions, which is designed to happen only during a national emergency. Bones' fault caused a huge public uproar and an investigation by the FCC in the incident.
Showrunners
'Breaking Bobby Bones' is produced by BBC Studios’ Los Angeles production arm for National Geographic. Alongside Bones, Betsy Forhan serves as executive producer for National Geographic, and Travis Shakespeare and Jeffrey L Weaver executive produce for BBC Studios.
Trailer
Bones admits about his new venture that he, “hated doing a lot of these actual missions, but there was never a second that I was gonna not do them. But [I believe] I'm supposed to hate them. I believe you don't grow unless you're uncomfortable. I've grown about ten feet tall after [doing] this.”
