Nashville, TN — Following his wildy successful first adventure, radio and TV personality Bobby Bones is returning to “Running Wild With Bear Grylls” for a second time airing tonight (5/17) on National Geographic at 9/8pm CT. The episode sees Bones joined by his fiancé Caitlin Parker for the couple’s first joint television appearance and tests their ability to rely upon each other. Sent to the rugged wilderness of the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains the couple are put to the ultimate test when they must track deadly mountain lions, descend towering sandstone cliffs and forage for food under ice-covered waterfalls.
Immediately following the airing of “Running Wild With Bear Grylls,” fans can get an exclusive first look at Bones’ highly-anticipated travel TV series “Breaking Bobby Bones”, which he hosts and executive produces. The new series is slated to debut with two back-to-back episodes on May 31 on National Geographic.
Last week, Bones’ musical comedy band, Bobby Bones & The Raging Idiots, released their AWARD WINNING EP and announced plans for the inaugural BOBBYFEST – an all day, family-friendly music festival hitting two cities over two days — New Braunfels, TX on September 4 and Wichita, KS on September 5. Known for their “hot ticket” (Fresno Bee) live show with nonstop “music and laughter flowing” (Sounds Like Nashville), The Raging Idiots will headline both evenings and have tapped special guests Russell Dickerson and Maddie & Tae as part of the musical lineup, with more event details to be revealed over the coming weeks. Tickets for both dates are on-sale now at Ticketmaster.com.
Bobby Bones, who “has carved out a place for himself in nearly every corner of the entertainment world” (American Profile), is host of the nationally syndicated radio show “The Bobby Bones Show,” which broadcasts to over 170 stations and is the No. 1 Country morning show with millions of weekly listeners. The show recently garnered its second Country Music Association Award for National Broadcast Personality of the Year and fourth ACM Award for National On-Air Personality of the Year and earned Bones the title of youngest-ever inductee into the prestigious National Radio Hall of Fame. The “media multitasker” (Billboard) also launched his own podcast, “BobbyCast,” which features candid long-form interviews with top artists and industry figures and has been downloaded nearly 20 million times.
