In this episode of Dadville, we dig into the life and mind of a true comedy legend—the best-selling comedy recording artist of all time, Jeff Foxworthy. We talk about the grind behind his success, including the years of focused “10,000-hour” effort it took just to get on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show, which he describes as “the Everest of comedy.”He opens up about wrestling with the blank page, the strange “sickness” that pushes comedians to turn even the worst moments—like a $138,000 copperhead snake bite—into material. We also kick around the big creative questions: Are comics born funny, or can you actually learn how to be great? Join us: http://dadville.substack.com Wanna advertise?
