Terry Bradshaw, the legendary Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and longtime sports broadcaster, is set to return to work just a few short weeks after making a high-profile appearance as part of Fox’s Super Bowl coverage. Despite the intensity and scale of the event, Bradshaw won’t be slowing down just yet. In fact, his next professional commitment is already lined up, signalling that the football great remains in demand in the world of sports media. This comes on the heels of his recent revelation that he’s been thinking seriously about stepping away from television for good. He even mentioned having a specific date in mind for his retirement, though it seems fans will still get to enjoy his familiar voice and presence on-screen a little while longer before he officially bows out.

The 76-year-old Bradshaw will be back with his self-titled show, called “The Terry Bradshaw Show” next month.
He revealed on Instagram that the first show will be on March 8 in Branson, Missouri, where it’s usually held, and it will be the beginning of 10 other showings for the year.
“New dates!!!! Check your calendar and make plans to come to see us in Branson this years. Great place to do family vacation, golf is great there, lake is beautiful…. Come and enjoy,” Bradshaw wrote to his 103,000-plus followers.
The Terry Bradshaw Show, according to the program’s website, is a stage production, and Bradshaw brings with him “musical, comedy, and storytelling.”
“Bradshaw will bring his dynamic singing ability, endearing personality and charisma to the Clay Cooper Theatre with a production that chronicles his life’s journey through comedy, music, and storytelling,” the website adds.
‘”The Terry Bradshaw Show’ will showcase the same straight-shooting, self-deprecating humor that has made Bradshaw an all-time favorite as an Emmy Award-winning co-host and analyst on FOX NFL Sunday.”
The show began in 2013 and Las Vegas and has since toured nationwide.
The hit program is currently shown in Branson and also Louisiana, Bradshaw’s native state.
Bradshaw’s next work assignment comes after he revealed to the world when he’ll hang up his microphone.
He has worked on Fox NFL Sunday since its inception in 1994 and has two more years left on his contract.

During Super Bowl week, Bradshaw admitted that he wants to retire after the 2029 Super Bowl – when he’ll be close to 80 years of age.
“I told my wife before I left the room a while ago, I’m sitting there, I said, ‘I’ve got two years left at FOX. I’m 76′,” he said last week during a media scrum in New Orleans.
“Okay, so it’s a young man’s game.
“I get that.’ Everybody wants the new.
“And so I said, ‘If we can get to the next Super Bowl, I’ll be 80. That’s, I think that’s time’.
“80 years old, that’s pushing it.”
Bradshaw was part of a Fox NFL Sunday crew that made history during the big game weekend.
The hit pregame NFL show averaged 23.4 million viewers from 1:00 pm Eastern to kickoff.
It was the most viewership ever for a Super Bowl pregame program that started at 1:00 pm.
