Known for his classic line, “You might be a redneck if …,” Foxworthy has sold more records than any other comedian in history 30 million albums, was a multiple Grammy Award nominee and best-selling author of more than 26 books.

Larry the Cable Guy is a multi-platinum recording artist, Grammy nominee, bestselling author and was named to Forbes “Celebrity 100” list in 2006 and 2007.
