Foxworthy is history’s best-selling comedy-recording artist, a multiple Grammy nominee and the author of over 26 books. He was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame In 2014.
While probably best known for his redneck jokes, his comedy explores everyday family interactions and human nature, garnering comparisons to the style of Mark Twain.
He will be filming a new comedy special in April, set for release later this year. His most recent comedy special, “The Good Old Days,” is currently streaming on Netflix. Foxworthy also has his own comedy channel, “Jeff and Larry’s Comedy Roundup,” on SiriusXM.
Foxworthy has created multiple humor-based games, including “Relative Insanity” and “See What I Mean.” He has hosted television shows including A&E’s live auction show “What’s It Worth?,” NBC’s comedy competition “Bring The Funny” and several seasons of Fox’s “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?”
Foxworthy partnered with comedians Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy on the “Blue Collar Comedy Tour.” He subsequently co-created and starred in “Blue Collar TV” on the WB network.
