Bobby Bones is already known by both Dancing With the Stars and American Idol fans, but he is now teasing there’s a new TV show in the works, and this one is solely about him.
“It’s my first ever show about me,” Bones hinted to Sounds Like Nashville. “I’ve done shows – American Idol for three seasons, but that’s not about me. Dancing With the Stars. This is my first show on a network that’s about me, and that’s the most I’ve said about it anywhere.”
Even without a TV show, Bobby is already well-known, thanks to his award-winning The Bobby Bones Show on iHeart. But in spite of his TV and radio roles, the 40-year-old still sometimes feels like an outsider.
“I don’t know that I am embraced by any stream, and I don’t live by that because it’s so fickle,” Bobby admitted. “I don’t ever make everybody happy, and now I’m ok with that. As long as I can be honest and be me, then if people disagree with me or don’t like it, at least they’ll appreciate that I’m telling my truth. That’s all we want from people anymore, and for me, that’s super cool.”
Bobby is also hosting an online trivia game shoe, Super Easy Trivia. The Arkansas native was already in talks to have the show on TV, but when coronavirus put a hold on all of those plans, he decided to do it on his own –– and now might keep it that way.
“It was never really the plan to make this the big show I’m doing, but I’m excited that people care,” Bobby said. “I’m definitely not smart at this, it’s just kind of lucky.”
Bobby was one of the first to help volunteer when the deadly tornadoes struck Nashville in early March. He’s still working now, during the coronavirus pandemic. Even though he works mostly from home, he’s determined to be a steady voice in a trying time.
“I’m lucky I get to work,” Bobby said. “I’m trying to maintain a sense of normalcy so if people want to check in, even though it’s not normal, you can listen to the radio show and still feel normal … I think my job is to be consistent in an inconsistent time.”
Super Easy Trivia can be found on Bobby’s YouTube channel The Bobby Bones Show can be found at iHeart.
