In 1993, he released You Might Be a Redneck If... which started the "You Might Be a Redneck" fad, topped the comedy album charts, and sold more than 3 million copies.
In 1995, he starred in The Jeff Foxworthy Show, a sitcom created out of his stand-up comedy persona. It aired on ABC, but was cancelled after one season. NBC subsequently picked up the show, but it was again cancelled after one season. Foxworthy later remarked that the network did not understand how to properly market his humor; thinking his routine was "too Southern" for a national network, they based the first season of his sitcom in Bloomington, Indiana. The ABC run of the show can now be seen on Nick at Nite and CMT.
In the early 2000s, Foxworthy had a career resurgence as a result of the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour," in which he and three other comedians (Larry the Cable Guy, Ron White, and Bill Engvall), specializing in common-man comedy, toured the country and performed for record crowds. The tour lasted three full years, constantly being extended after an initial run of 20 shows.
In 2004, he launched a new television show called Blue Collar TV on The WB Television Network and Comedy Central. He serves as executive producer, and stars alongside Blue Collar Comedy Tour-mates Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall. (Ron White turned the show down but made occasional guest appearances.) The show was relatively successful compared to the anemic performance of the WB's other sitcoms. However, on Larry the Cable Guy's website, he says the show was "cancelled" on October 17, 2005 by the network. Reruns of "Blue Collar TV" continued until the network merged with UPN to form The CW.
Jeff has resurrected the "Blue Collar TV" format (albeit with only himself participating along with some of the Blue Collar TV co-hosts) called "Foxworthy's Big Night Out," which airs on the Country Music Television channel in America. (CMT) "Foxworthy's Big Night Out" began airing in summer 2006.
Foxworthy also hosts The Foxworthy Countdown, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show featuring country music hits.
Foxworthy has authored books including You Might Be a Redneck If... (1989) and related "redneck humor" books, as well as No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem! (1996). He also has released a cookbook entitled The Redneck Grill, co-authored with David Boyd, and Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary: Words You Thought You Knew the Meaning Of (2005).
In 2005, Jeff Foxworthy was roasted in a TV special called Comedy Central Roast of Jeff Foxworthy.
---->Triva:
Foxworthy has been married since 1985 to Pamela Gregg. They were married in Central Park. Based on a popular Foxworthy routine, Pamela will often be greeted in public with "So you're the one with the cold butt!" (A line from the bit: "Why is it that when a woman gets into bed, the temperature of her feet and butt drop to below freezing? . . . I can lick my hand, put it on my wife's butt, and it will stick.") The couple are the parents of two daughters, Jordan (b. 1992) and Julianne (b. 1994).
Contrary to popular belief, he is not the cousin of Bill Engvall.
His family has nine young girls. He has two, he lives next to his brother, who has three, and their sister has four.
Later on in 2006, Foxworthy will voice the character Lyle in the Disney movie The Fox and the Hound 2.
Turned down a part in the movie RV because he felt that he would be away from his family for too long.
Jeff Foxworthy stars in a new internet short by Don't Be That Guy Films called "Practical Gifts", in which he explains the importance of getting loved ones "gifts they can use" instead of "gifts they want".

Jeff: Man this is just the stuff I got for Christmas
Elf: Well you cleaned up watcha get?
Jeff: 5 flannel shirts, 4 big mud tires, 3 shot gun shells, 2 huntin' dogs
and some parts to a mustang GT
Elf: Youbo you got Jeff first 12 days of Christmas
Jeff: I know that I got it covered look over there in the corner
Elf: that's yours too?
Jeff: yeah 12 pack of bud, 11 wrastlin tickets, 10 of copenhagen
9 years probation, 8 table dancers, 7 packs of red man, 6 spam (woo)
5 flannel shirts, 4 big mud tires, 3 shot gun shells, 2 huntin' dogs
And some parts to a mustang GT
Elf: Man these ain't normal Christmas Presents
Jeff: Nah there redneck gifts
Elf: Redneck gifts?
Jeff: Yeah you know like if you buy your wife
Earring that double as fishing hooks or if you can burp the entire chorus of Jingle Bells
Perhaps you think the Nutcracker is something you did off the high dive
Or if you've ever misspelled something in Christmas lights, or if you leave cold beer
And pickled eggs for Santa Claus
Elf: What's wrong with that?
Jeff: I didn't say anythings wrong with its hard to beat 12 pack of bud
11 wrastlin' tickets,10 of copenhagen, 9 years probation, 8 table dancers
7 packs of red man, 6 cans of spam, 5 flannel shirts, 4 big mud tires
3 shot gun shells, 2 huntin' dogs, and some parts to a Mustang Gt
Elf: Well you know you can't really consider it a Chrismas
Unless you go down to the penatentry and visit ya momma
Jeff: You're not listenin to me get the car key outta your ear
That's where the nine years probation comes in I'mma do it for you again, now listen
12 pack of bud, 11 wrastlin tickets, 10 of copenhagen, 9 years probation,8 table dancers
7 packs of red man, 6 cans of spam, 5 flannel shirts, 4 big mud tires, 3 shot guns shells
2 huntin' dogs, and some parts to a mustang GT
Jeff: Are you crying?
Elf: No its just my allergies
Jeff: Happy Holidays everybody!
The lyrics of Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck 12 Days of Christmas highlight some of the unusual and humorous gifts that a redneck might receive for Christmas. The conversation between Jeff and the Elf starts off with Jeff expressing his excitement about the Christmas gifts he received, which include five flannel shirts, four big mud tires, three shotgun shells, two hunting dogs, and some parts to a Mustang GT. The Elf inquires about what he got, which prompts Jeff to show him the rest of the gifts that he received.
Jeff goes on to list the remaining items he received, which include a 12-pack of Budweiser beer, 11 wrestling tickets, 10 cans of Copenhagen chewing tobacco, nine years of probation, eight table dancers, seven packs of Red Man chewing tobacco, six cans of Spam, and some more flannel shirts, mud tires, shotgun shells, hunting dogs, and car parts. After the Elf questions the appropriateness of these gifts, Jeff explains that they are typical of what a redneck might receive, and he provides examples of other redneck gifts as well, such as fishing hook earrings and misspelled Christmas lights.
The lyrics of "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas" are humorous and satirical, highlighting the stereotypical characteristics and gifts associated with a redneck Christmas celebration. Jeff Foxworthy employs exaggeration and comedic timing to create an entertaining and engaging song that pokes fun at redneck culture. While the lyrics may be interpreted as offensive or insensitive by some, they are intended to be taken in good humor and not meant to be taken too seriously.
