This seems like an awfully appropriate match-up.
Redneck comedian Jeff Foxworthy just signed
a deal to bring Blue Collar TV to Country Music Television (CMT). Foxworthy signed on for 12- half hour
episodes of Foxworthy's Big Night Out. It's a sketch and stand-up comedy program that also features live
musical performances. Production on the program begins in June, at the Alliance Theater in Atlanta, where all programs
will be filmed before a live audience.Foxworthy's new home on CMT is a big win for the cable channel, which saw its biggest ratings ever in the last two years when Foxworthy hosted the CMT Music Awards.
