Jeff Foxworthy and Larry The Cable Guy Team Up With SiriusXM
You might be a Red-Neck!!! SiriusXM announced today that standup comedy superstars Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy will lead their own 24/7 comedy channel on SiriusXM to be called Jeff and Larry’s Comedy Roundup.
Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy will not only contribute, but serve as executive producers of a new channel of exclusive comedy material that listeners will not hear anywhere other than at the comedy stars’ live comedy shows. Comedy channels have been a staple on Sirius XM since its inception. They oft provide a needed break from news programming and music channels. Foxworthy and Larry are well known and respected in Comedy and bring a brand of humor that is a great match for the satellite waves. The new comedy channel will debut later this year.
Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most respected and successful comedians in the country. He is the largest selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award nominee and best-selling author of more than 26 books. He was recently inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame for his accomplishments. Jeff will once again be hosting the FOX television game show Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, set to premiere in 2015.
Larry the Cable Guy is a multiplatinum recording artist, Grammy nominee, Billboard award winner and one of the top comedians in the country. His television shows, comedy and variety specials have all been ratings successes, and he has appeared in many successful films, including as the voice of the beloved Mater in the Golden Globe Award-winning animated feature film, “Cars.”
The new channel from Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy joins a robust comedy lineup on SiriusXM featuring Comedy Central Radio, Jamie Foxx’s The Foxxhole channel, Carlin’s Corner, Laugh USA, and Raw Dog Comedy Hits and more.
SiriusXM teaming up with the duo is a natural solution that could well benefit both parties in this equation. Foxworth and Larry The Cable Guy get to continue to expand their brand and awareness, while SiriusXM gets to capitalize on that same brand and awareness. The biggest winner may well be satellite radio subscribers that receive unparallelled content that is simply not available elsewhere.
SXM seems to be deliberately coy on the question of what this channel actually is: an extension of the Blue Collar brand, or its successor. Not one of the many articles I’ve read to date has addressed the matter, and it’s starting to grate.
I word venture to say that it will replace Blue Collar Comedy
This has launched and some of my favorites from Blue Collar Radio have been placed on hiatus. Please bring back Bill Engvall & Gary Brightwell’s Off The Cuff. Along with Reno Collier & Leanne Morgan’s Chewing the Fat.
Everyone is missing these! They were some of the best things on this station!
I want to know why Bill Engvall is not part of this, I thought they were a great team. Has something happened?
My guess is that Engvall’s people have a solo branding deal in the works somewhere that necessitated removing him from the current deal. Or maybe the content changes we’ve seen were enough to make him move on.
Can you please take the N word off you radio station it gets old and is not funny.
What happened? I can’t find station.
Larry’s so-called humor is too juvenile. I got tired of hearing potty jokes, fart jokes & sexual jokes. Bring some class back! I totally left this channel and now listen to Laugh USA.
When are they going to get new material, Larry’s jokes suck and old. we heard Jeff’s jokes a million times. what happened to new material
Ever since Blue Collar changed to Jeff & Larry’s, the quality of the comedy has gone down. The Weekly Review is boring (I want comedy, not a talk show!), and Baxter Black’s overly-long segments have no humor at all. Plus, half of the comedians’ names no longer appear on my radio display. They’ve ruined this channel just like HBO was ruined – remember when it was all movies?
