9/17: Jeff Foxworthy plans an animated NASCAR comedy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Alpharetta’s Jeff Foxworthy is gunning for more work, though this time in animated form.
Foxworthy, host of “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?”, has signed a deal with Fox to do an animated pilot program about a dysfunctional family set in the world of NASCAR, according to Variety magazine.
Nancy Hower and John Lehr, producers of Atlanta-based TNT’s “10 Items or Less,” will be helping out Foxworthy in this yet untitled show.
Fox is seeking a new generation of animated shows as its lineup has aged e.g. “King of the Hill” has been on 13 seasons. Foxworthy will provide his voice to the animated show. He has done voices before in film such as “Racing Stripes” and “The Fox and the Hound 2.”
Does this sound like a good concept?
Foxworthy is also going to host the syndicated version of “Are You Smarter” starting next fall.

If you watch a cartoon about NASCAR you might just be a (young) redneck.

Good for Foxworthy. Something besides a reality show might be refreshing. We all need to learn to laugh at ourselves.

You know, he has been successful at everything he has done so why not try this. Given Fox’s reputation for animated comedy this sounds like a win-win for both. I still miss the Blue Collar TV though. That show puts SNL to shame now.

Good…we need TV shows that make fun of people who enjoy watching billboards on wheels hang a left turn for 3 hours.
