"America's Toughest Jobs" is NBC's latest foray into reality tv

The NBC network is set to premier yet another reality tv series. The show which is called America's Toughest Jobs will air Monday, August 25th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Satellite TV.

This extreme competition reality tv series is the brainchild of creative/executive producer Thom Beers ("Deadliest Catch, "Ice Road Truckers") and executive producers Gail Berman and LLoyd Braun. America's Toughest Jobs will test the physical and emotional strength of 13 men and women as they compete against each other in some of the most dangerous and demanding jobs on the planet.

Some of the hair raising and agonizing jobs which the contestants will try to master the skills for are crab fishing, logging and oil rigging to name just a few. Each week the contestants temporary boss and co-workers for a particular job will determine whether or not they made the grade and if they will be allowed to soldier on or be sent packing. The interesting twist to this new reality tv show is that the annual salary of each job will be added to the pot until the finale, when one lucky greenhorn will be declared the winner and be the recipient of all that hard earned cash.

So if you're of fan of "Deadliest Catch", "Dirty Jobs" or "Ice Road Truckers", be sure to tune in and watch America's Toughest Jobs.
