Why he might be annoying:

    His 'Dancing with the Stars' victory was controversial, and the show changed its scoring system as a result.
    When his radio show relocated to Nashville, he paid $13,000 for 3 billboards reading 'Go Away Bobby Bones' (later revealed as a publicity stunt).
    His employer, iHeartMedia, was fined $1 million after he played Emergency Alert System tones, which triggered EAS alerts across the country.

    He published two New York Times best selling books.
    He was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame (2017).
