 | | Foxworthy was highly visible that year, appearing as himself on HBO’s “The Larry Sanders Show” (1992-98) and another Showtime special, “Jeff Foxworthy: Check Your Neck” (1992), which coincided with his fourth book of the same name. |
 | | The ensuing series, entitled “Somewhere in America,” morphed into “The Jeff Foxworthy Show” and was set in Atlanta, but the network, fearing the locale was “too Southern,” moved the surroundings to Indianapolis and focused on Foxworthy as a family man with a heating and air conditioning repair business. |
 | | Foxworthy spent that first year on the air frustrated and unable to assert his voice within the writing, even while his second big comedy album, 1995’s Games Rednecks Play, was a double-platinum chartbuster, selling a million copies in just over a month and earning a Grammy nomination. |
