The cast includes a welder, firefighter, farmer, roofer, and a Marine Corps veteran, among others. The series premieres Wednesday, July 8 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET\/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host and executive producer.<\/p>\n<p>These competitors, who get their workout on the job rather than the gym, wear work boots instead of workout shoes and consider the calluses on their hands a badge of honor, will be tested for their strength, endurance, life skills and, most importantly, mental toughness in challenges that take place at real-world job sites. One competitor will be crowned the TOUGH AS NAILS champion, but nobody will go home. Even after they &#8220;punch out&#8221; of the individual competition, they will have the opportunity to win additional prizes in the team competitions that continue throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was inspired to create TOUGH AS NAILS almost a decade ago because of my working-class family of farmers, gold miners, builders, and coal miners,&#8221; said host and executive producer Phil Keoghan. &#8220;I&#8217;m proud of my family and wanted to shine a light on people who are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty to do a hard day&#8217;s work. Now, more than ever, it is important for all of us to recognize this country&#8217;s &#8216;essential workers,&#8217; real people in real life who are really tough.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-2020659452\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The TOUGH AS NAILS competitors are:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10454\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10454\" style=\"width: 334px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10454 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/tough-as-nails-Linnett-Key.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"334\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/tough-as-nails-Linnett-Key.jpg 334w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/tough-as-nails-Linnett-Key-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/tough-as-nails-Linnett-Key-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/tough-as-nails-Linnett-Key-260x260.jpg 260w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/tough-as-nails-Linnett-Key-160x160.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10454\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Name: Linnett Key Job: Welder Age: 34 Hometown: Lecanto, Fla.
