“RFD-TV is so very proud to be the presenting sponsor for Jeff and Larry's upcoming comedy tour. Their values match up so well with RFD-TV's goals as we both strive to provide family-oriented entertainment from a rural perspective. We look forward to using this opportunity to work with our cable partners in each of these cities to expand rural programming in our continuing effort to reconnect city with country again. Humor is a great way to do that,” said Patrick Gottsch, CEO and Founder of FRD-TV.
Jeff Foxworthy commented, “When I am not on stage I can usually be found on my farm on a tractor. For that reason I am thrilled to have RFD- TV as a sponsor of our new tour. There are so many wonderful things about this lifestyle and they do a great job of showcasing them. I for one hope I die with mud on my boots! I really look forward to the tour with new material and my great friend Larry the Cable Guy!"
Larry the Cable Guy echoed this sentiment: “I love RFD-TV and have watched it long before Patrick lost a lot of money to me at golf. To have them sponsor our show means a lot and I hope that through our shows we can help spread the word that RFD-TV is America’s greatest cheerleader. Git-R-Done!”

Currently, Jeff can be seen hosting the FOX game show “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader.” Jeff started his own outdoor company, Foxworthy Outdoors, which features a line of products related to the outdoor lifestyle.
