Jeff Foxworthy is a graduate of Georgia Tech.

He is an American comedian, actor and game show host who is known for his work as a stand-up comedian. He is perhaps best known for his "You Might Be a Redneck" jokes.
n 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 three 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 canceled after one season. NBC subsequently picked up the show, but it was again canceled 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.

He currently is the game show host of Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? which airs on FOX on Thursdays. The show also airs in Canada on Global Television Network and in the Middle East on Dubai TV.

Foxworthy has released 7 CDs.
