COWBOY BARES REALITY-TV GIG

The Naked Cowboy’s about to get even more overexposed – the busker who wears nothing more than a cowboy hat, briefs and boots is set to star in his own reality-TV show.

The Times Square strummer, real name Robert Burck, said he’s in discussions to host an “American Idol”- type show that will feature performers vying for the title of the world’s greatest street singer.

Naturally, the man in the tighty whities will be the judge.

“I want to see people like me, the real deal,” crowed the cocky crooner.

“I’m looking for character more than anything. You could be the greatest musician in the world, but if you stand in jeans and a T-shirt next to me, no one will notice you,” said the Midtown cowboy.

“[The winner] needs to be someone who is pure and awesome – like me.”

Burck has already secured a production deal with Bischoff Hervey Entertainment, the lowbrow brains behind VH1’s “Scott Baio is 45 . . . and Single” and the upcoming “Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling,” which will air on Country Music Television
