About this Event
Jeff Foxworthy, the LEGENDARY COMIC AND BEST-SELLING AUTHOR, will be the next speaker for the Jack Maddox Distinguished Speaker Series, presented by the JF Maddox Foundation and the University of the Southwest.
Spend an unforgettable evening with legendary comedian, bestselling author, and cultural icon Jeff Foxworthy in an intimate fireside chat filled with humor, heart, and behind-the-scenes stories from a remarkable career.
Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most respected and successful comedians in the country. He is the best-selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award nominee, and the author of over 26 books. In 2014, he was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. While widely known for his redneck jokes, his comedy extends beyond that, exploring everyday family interactions and human nature—often compared to the style of Mark Twain.
Jeff will be filming an all new comedy special this April, which is set for release later this year. His latest comedy special, The Good Old Days, is currently streaming on Netflix. Jeff also has his own comedy channel Jeff and Larry’s Comedy Roundup on SIRIUSXM, which showcases the best in American comedy. Foxworthy has created multiple games, including Relative Insanity and See What I Mean, which use his humor for interactive fun. His television hosting credits include A&E’s live auction show What’s It Worth?, NBC’s comedy competition Bring The Funny, and several seasons of FOX’s Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?. He also hosted The American Bible Challenge for GSN, narrated Lifetime’s The Week the Women Left, and led CBS’s The American Baking Competition.
A pioneer of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, Foxworthy co-created and starred in Blue Collar TV on the WB network. The Blue Collar Comedy Tour films were among Comedy Central’s highest-rated programming, selling millions of units and earning a Grammy nomination. His other comedy specials include Them Idiots Whirled Tour (2012) with Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy.
As an author, Foxworthy has released several New York Times bestsellers, including The Redneck Dictionary series, How to Really Stink at Golf, How to Really Stink at Work, and children’s books such as Dirt On My Shirt, Silly Street, and Hide!!!, the latter winning a Mom’s Choice Award.
This special event is not a stand-up routine, but rather a candid and engaging conversation. In this fireside chat format, Jeff will share personal reflections, career insights, lessons learned, and the stories behind the jokes—all delivered with the warmth and wit that have made him one of America’s most beloved entertainers.
Expect laughter, authenticity, and an evening of insight with a true American original.
