He is the top-selling comedy recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award nominee and bestselling author of more than 26 books, according to a news release. Widely known for his redneck jokes, his act goes well beyond that to explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human nature, a style that has been compared to Mark Twain’s. He recently launched his own comedy channel “Jeff and Larry’s Comedy Roundup,” a partnership with SIRIUSXM and Larry the Cable Guy. Foxworthy can be seen hosting the Fox game show “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader.” He started his own outdoor company, Foxworthy Outdoors, which features a line of products related to the outdoor lifestyle. Away from the stage, he is involved with several charitable organizations including The Atlanta Mission, Charity Water and the Duke Children’s Hospital.
"When I am not on stage I can usually be found on my farm on a tractor. For that reason, I am thrilled to have RFD-TV as a sponsor of our new tour," Foxworthy said in the news release. "There are so many wonderful things about this lifestyle and they do a great job of showcasing them. I for one hope I die with mud on my boots! I really look forward to the tour with new material and my great friend Larry the Cable Guy!"
Larry the Cable Guy is a multi-platinum recording artist, Grammy nominee, Billboard award winner and one of the top comedians in the country. He has his own line of merchandise and continues to sell out theaters and arenas across the United States. He is the spokesman for Prilosec OTC and most recently launched his own comedy channel on SIRIUSXM with Jeff Foxworthy. He will also return as the voice of the beloved Mater in Disney/Pixar’s "Cars 3," which is currently in production.

With an emphasis on children’s and veterans’ causes, The Git-R-Done Foundation has donated more than 7 million dollars to great organizations such as The Arnold Palmer Hospital, Operation Homefront and Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital.
"I love RFD-TV and have watched it long before Patrick lost a lot of money to me at golf. To have them sponsor our show means a lot and I hope that through our shows we can help spread the word that RFD-TV is America's greatest cheerleader. Git-R-Done!" Larry the Cable Guy said in the release.
