Ten years ago, the Blue Collar Comedy Tour swept the nation. Now, three of the four comedians in the original line-up have teamed up for another tour throughout the U.S.
Comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy have tour dates scheduled together throughout April 2011, with upcoming tour stops at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Oct. 15; the Prudential Center in Newark on Oct. 22; the BOK Center in Tulsa on Oct. 23; the Fargodome in Fargo on Nov. 20; and more!
In the time spent since the Blue Collar Comedy Tour took off, Jeff Foxworthy has been hosting FOX’s “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader;” Engvall has been hosting CMT’s “Country Fried Home Videos” and just recorded a new Comedy Central special called “Aged and Confused;” and Larry the Cable Guy is preparing to host “Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy” on the History Channel.

Jeff Foxworthy continue to be a fan-favorite for his specific blend of situational and redneck humor, which has paved the way for other comedians, like Larry the Cable Guy, to come into the spotlight. The Blue Collar Comedy Tour also continues to be a favorite, and is currently on tour now through the beginning of May.
One place you won’t be seeing, or rather hearing, Jeff Foxworthy is on his syndicated “Foxworthy Countdown” radio show, which began in 1999. After a decade of comedy skits, country music and artist interviews, Foxworthy gave his last show the weekend of Dec. 26, 2009.
Some of Foxworthy’s noteworthy characters on the radio show were Leon, the assistant who never speaks; Faylene the redneck psychic and Art from Art’s Cleaners.
“…Country music is the only form of music that’s always had comedy associated with it. You’ve got comedians in the Country Music Hall of Fame. And I think it’s because we’re both story tellers,” Foxworthy said. “That’s what country music is, it’s story telling. That’s what comedy is.”
