5 Sep
Summary
- Foxworthy's new special explores his joke-writing process.
- He brings back redneck jokes after a 20-year hiatus.
- This special may mark the end of his touring career.
Comedian Jeff Foxworthy has released his latest stand-up special, 'The Joke's on Me,' now available on Fox Nation. This unique offering provides viewers with an intimate look into the comedian's joke-writing and creative process, a departure from typical specials.
Foxworthy decided to revisit his signature redneck jokes for this special, bringing them back to the stage after a 20-year hiatus. He last performed these jokes extensively during the Blue Collar Comedy Tour in 2003. The enthusiastic audience reaction confirmed the enduring appeal of his material.
Inspired by a Beatles documentary, Foxworthy pitched the behind-the-scenes concept to Fox Nation, wanting to show the authentic struggle of stand-up comedy. He expressed fascination with how unpredictable audience reactions can be, even after over 40 years in the business.
While 'The Joke's on Me' might be his last touring special, Foxworthy clarifies that he is not retiring from performing. He indicated a desire to spend more time with his grandchildren and on his farm, rather than continuing a relentless touring schedule.
