Career

In 1993, when Foxworthy released the album You Might Be a Redneck If, it started the "you might be a redneck" craze and considerably boosted his popularity.

In 1995, Foxworthy starred in the comedy The Jeff Foxworthy Show, but the show was short-lived. In the early 2000s, Foxworthy did stand-up comedy with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, which also featured Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White. The tour was so popular it continued for three years.

In 2004, Foxworthy co-created Blue Collar TV, serving as executive producer and starring alongside Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall with occasional guest appearances from Ron White.

Quotes

Responding to MSNBC's question, "Do you count yourself as a redneck or do you consider yourself an escapee looking in from the outside?"

"I'm pretty much in—I'm in. But I've made more money than I've ever dreamed of and I still wear jeans and t-shirts every day and drive a truck."—Jeff Foxworthy¹
