Bob Tallman

There is, perhaps, no rodeo announcer as recognizable or accomplished as Bob Tallman. Known as the voice of professional rodeo, Tallman has been behind the microphone for more than 15,000 rodeos in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand over the last 50 years. Most notably, he announced the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas a record 17-times and has announced the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for more than 30 years. A 12-time PRCA Announcer of the Year, he’s an inductee of more than 10 Halls of Fame and was a color commentator on national television for western sporting events like Bull Riders Only. Tallman was raised in Winnemucca, Nevada and now calls Poolville, Texas home.
