Toughest Cowboy is an American rodeo competition-based reality television program broadcast between 2007 and 2009. It aired for the first two seasons on Fox Sports, with its third season on Spike TV. The series originally followed more of a sports competition format, but added back stories about the professional cowboys featured during its final season produced by Mark Burnett.
The series followed twelve professional cowboys as they competed in the three professional roughstock rodeo events — bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding in effort to win the Toughest Cowboy championship and the grand prize of a ranch in the American West. Originally created by Jac Sperling and Tommy Joe Lucia, Toughest Cowboy was a combination of athletic competition and personal retrospectives creating a new genre of television, known as "sports drama". The first broadcast aired April 8, 2007, on the Fox Sport Network (FSN). In 2009, Mark Burnett signed on to produce the series for Spike TV. Whiskey Falls composed the theme song.
