Did you ever know that Terry Bradshaw is not just a Hall of Famer and the co-host of Fox NFL on Sunday? Turns out, he’s also a bit of a prankster and one with an off-screen talent of storytelling that had Jimmy Johnson completely fooled.

Bradshaw once claimed to Johnson that he was raking $140,000 per show as a singer in Branson. Well, it turns out this was all one big, elaborate lie. Recently, Clay Cooper, the host of Clay Cooper’s Country Express, and the Clay Cooper’s Theatre in Branson, Missouri, spilled the tea on this hilarious prank that included both Bradshaw and Johnson.

According to Cooper, it all started pretty straightforward when Johnson asked Jimmy where he was singing, to which the former QB casually responded, “In Branson, Missouri.” But things took a serious turn when Jimmy asked, “And people come see you singing?” And with the confidence of a seasoned performer, Terry replied, “Yeah, Jimmy, yeah.”

And it didn’t stop here. Cooper revealed Johnson’s reaction when Terry mentioned how much he was making at Branson. “They pay me $140,000 for a show to come out there,” Terry declared. And just like y’all, here’s the response from Jimmy: “You’re making $140,000 singing in Branson?” And can you blame him? But Terry is Terry, and he responded, “Oh yeah!”

And here comes the kicker: when Cooper asked him if he ever told Johnson the truth, the Hall of Famer declared in a negative. Classic Terry. And as it turns out, Bradshaw successfully made a fool out of Johnson. Although Bradshaw himself shared this incident on his Instagram story, publicly confirming the lie that kept everyone on toes with his larger-than-life personality and humor.

The QB hitting the stage with The Terry Bradshaw Show

Well, the funny incident is one thing. Let’s talk about the big picture here. A few weeks ago, Bradshaw announced performing a live musical comedy show in Branson, Missouri with his production called The Terry Bradshaw Show. The former Steelers‘ QB has lined up many shows that he is set to perform in the Clay Cooper’s Theatre in Branson.

And if you’re wondering what are you gonna witness in that show. Well, it would not be wrong to say, the fans gonna watch the Typical Terry in coming months. And by typical, I mean his life’s journey through comedy, music, and storytelling with the same straight-shooting, self-deprecating humor. Not t0 forget, that’s what made Bradshaw an all-time favorite as an Emmy Award-winning co-host.

While the Chery on top? The NFL Films and HBO are all set to make A Documentary on Terry Bradshaw’s life. And it may have a release anytime soon. As a matter of fact, this announcement set the stage for that prank. And looking at his long resume, we can see that’s not the end here. After thrashing the opponents on the field, the Hall of Famer has seamlessly transitioned himself into the entertainment industry, showcasing his versatility and charisma.
