America has a former reality show star in the White House. Why not a radio host in the Alabama Governor's Mansion?

Rick Burgess, who along with Bill "Bubba" Bussey hosts the syndicated "Rick and Bubba" radio show, alluded to a big announcement coming on Monday's show. The program airs from 6 a.m.- 10 a.m. CST.

Many rumors in Alabama about Bubba or me running for governor. Big announcement on Mondays show. — rick burgess (@bigvox) June 2, 2017

When contacted by AL.com, Burgess declined to comment.

"We are going to wait until Monday," he said.

Burgess and Bussey are no strangers to politics. Their show routinely features elected officials and there's even a Facebook page called "Rick Burgess for Governor." The two have frequently appeared on other conservative talk shows, including with Fox's Sean Hannity.

As of June 2, seven Republicans and one independent have announced intentions to run for governor in 2018. On the GOP side, candidates are former Morgan County Commissioner Stacy Lee George; Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, Jefferson County Commissioner David Carrington, Public Service Commission chair Twinkle Cavanaugh, businessman Joshua Jones and Agriculture Department Commissioner John McMillan. Andrew Tolbert has filed paperwork to run as an independent.
