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".

Redneck Stomp
Jeff Foxworthy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Describing what the tornadoes sounded like
You might be a redneck.
If you've ever cut your grass and found a car
You might be a redneck.
If your dad walks you to school because your in the same grade
You might be a redneck.
If you've ever been too drunk to fish...
If somebody asks to see your ID and you show them your belt buckle
If every day somebody comes to your house mistakenly thinking your having a
Yard sale.
If you've ever had to haul a can of paint to the top of a water tower to defend
Your sister's honor
You might be a redneck.
If your dog and your wallet are both on a chain.
You might be a redneck.
They always make fun of the way I talk, I keep telling them I said your gonna be
Real surprised when you get into the habit in St. Petersburg and say,
"Y'all get into the truck, we goin up to the big house."
If you've ever financed a tattoo
If you've ever made change in the offering plate
You might be a redneck.
We have words in the south they don't have in other parts of the country
Now, you come to the south, we have words like, yu'nt to.
We goin to the mall, yu'nt to?
What letter does that start with, does anybody know?
I like this word alot, aight.
That's a word in Texas, aight.
Round lunch time every day, you'll hear somebody say,
"Hey jeet yet, naw, dju? Yu'nt to? Aight."
If you go to the family reunion to meet women.
If you smoked during your wedding
You might be a redneck.
And last but not least
If you see a sign that says say no to crack,
And it reminds you to pull your jeans up
You might be a redneck.
The lyrics of Jeff Foxworthy's "Redneck Stomp" are a humorous representation of the stereotypical characteristics of a redneck. The song is a collection of absurd conditions, and if one can relate to any of them, they might be a redneck. For instance, if someone has been on television more than five times explaining how the tornadoes sounded, they might be a redneck, and if they've ever found a car while cutting the grass, then that's also a giveaway of their redneck status.
Furthermore, the song mentions more indicators of someone being a redneck, such as walking with your dad to school because you're in the same grade, being too drunk to fish or if your wallet and dog are both on the same chain. The song goes on to explore how rednecks speak, mentioning words like "yu'nt to" and "aight," which are common in southern slang, as well as touching on redneck wedding traditions and attending family reunions to meet women. In essence, the song portrays the redneck way of life in a comical manner.
