Biography
|
Jeff Foxworthy, born September 6, 1958 in Atlanta, Georgia, is an American comedian, and actor who is best known for his work as a stand-up comedian. He is a 1979 graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.
In 1993, he released You Might Be a Redneck If... which started the "You Might Be A Redneck" fad. The album became the highest-selling comedy album of all time, eventually selling over 14 million copies.
In 1995, he starred in The Jeff Foxworthy Show, a sitcom created out of his stand-up comedy persona. It aired on ABC, but was canceled after one season. NBC subsequently picked up the show, but it was again canceled after one season. Foxworthy later remarked that the network did not understand how to properly market his humor; thinking his routine was "too Southern" for a national network, they based his sitcom in Indiana.
In the early 2000s, Foxworthy had a career resurgence as a result of the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour", in which he and three other comedians (Larry the Cable Guy, Ron White, and Bill Engvall), specializing in common-man comedy, toured the country and played to record crowds. The tour lasted three full years, constantly being extended after an initial run of 20 shows.
In 2004, he launched a new television show called Blue Collar TV on The WB Television Network and Comedy Central. He serves as executive producer, and stars alongside Blue Collar Comedy Tour-mates Larry The Cable Guy and Bill Engvall.
Foxworthy has authored books including You Might Be a Redneck If... (1989) and related "redneck humor" books, as well as No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem! (1996)
Foxworthy is a fourth cousin four times removed from Tennessee Governor Isham G. Harris.
