Blue Collar TV was a television program on the WB Television Network and starring Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy. The show's humor dealt principally with contemporary American society, and especially the hillbilly, redneck, and Southern stereotypes. The show was greenlighted on the heels of the success of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. It was created by Fax Bahr and Adam Small, who are also responsible for Gary and Mike and MADtv, in addition to J.P. Williams and Jeff Foxworthy.
Fellow Blue Collar Comedy Tour participant and friend Ron White declined to star on Blue Collar TV due to a fear of being typecast as "blue collar." However, he guested on many episodes of the show. On his latest album, You Can't Fix Stupid, White cited his own lack of work ethic as a reason for not participating more on the show.
Unlike most sketch comedy programs, each episode of Blue Collar TV was generally centered around a theme, which Jeff reveals at the start of each episode. Themes included "Food", "Kids", and "Stupidity", among others. Jeff occasionally does stand-up.
The show originated from the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta. Later episodes of season 1 and all episodes of season 2 were taped at The Classic Center in Athens, Georgia, although the show taped at the House of Blues in New Orleans during a two-episode road trip in 2004. Later episodes were filmed during their Blue Collar tour.
The show halted production a few weeks into the 2005 fall season. It was also removed from the lineups of both Comedy Central and the WB. No official statement was given by the WB, though Larry and Bill both confirmed the end of Blue Collar TV on their websites. Blue Collar TV returned on May 31, 2006, to finish airing its second season throughout the summer as filler for the final weeks of The WB, which would shut down later that year. The show did not move to The CW. In summer 2006, Foxworthy started his own show, Foxworthy's Big Night Out, which airs on Country Music Television and retains some aspects of the Blue Collar TV format, which was cancelled after its first season.
