UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - June 26, 2024 - With the help of some of America's most popular country artists, NBC will honor Toby Keith's life and legacy with a two-hour concert special "Toby Keith: American Icon," airing Wednesday, Aug. 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Keith's influence crossed generations and his legacy reached around the globe with songs that include "Should've Been a Cowboy," "How Do You Like Me Now?!" "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue (The Angry American)," "I Love This Bar" and many more.
