If this isn’t a match made in heaven, I don’t know what is: Recognizing that “Blue Collar TV” has about as much chance of being resurrected for the CW’s new fall schedule as, say, “Homeboys in Outer Space,” Jeff Foxworthy has signed on to host a variety show for Country Music Television (or CMT, in redneck-hipster lingo).
Dubbed “Foxworthy’s Big Night Out,” the show will feature stand-up comedy, humorous sketches, and — in deference to the host network, no doubt — live music performances.
Some of Foxworthy’s Blue-Collar cohorts will undoubtedly turn up onstage at some point during the 12 episodes ordered…but here’s hoping Larry the Cable Guy was too busy chasing the snow-cone lady in his crap movie to find time to shoot a segment for the show.
