Oh please. He was a one hit wonder. After his "ya might be a redneck" shtick wore out he was toast.
Don't even try to compare his wallet with Jerry Seinfeld's or about 100 others.
You simply don't know what you're talking about. The "redneck test" was only ever the closing part of Foxworthy's act. True, he didn't pile up the money Seinfeld made doing the TV series, but his standup act remains popular and has made him much more as a standup artist than most comedians can even aspire to.
You keep saying it's unequaled...yet have not shown any proof. Fact is, his career has been so varied for so long, unless you have records of his financials, you're, again, making shit up.
He PRODUCED the Blue Collar Tour...and it, as we all know and as you mentioned, featured OTHER comics as well. Can't credit the fake Larry the Cable Guy with Foxworthy's stand up...at least not honestly.
Engvall, who I don't think is funny in the slightest, was on the RADIO SHOW. Then, Foxworthy PRODUCED a record. Then he PRODUCED a movie. There is a Blue Collar Radio station on Sirius-XM.
Ron White is no conservative...
So what? He produced a standup comedy show -- it's money from standup, and from touring. They just happened to put a camera on it.
Engvall, whether you like him or not, has a following, is funny, is not racist and is conservative. I've never found quite a few comics funny, but that's a matter of individual taste.
Ron White is no liberal. The he is probably, more than anything, a libertarian.
No...if I do not find Engvall funny, then he is not funny. That's how comedy works.
So what you say? Well...you said Foxworthy wasn't a producer. That he made money from stand up...and stand up alone. Obviously...that's false. You have no idea how his cash flow breaks down, but it is not from stand up alone and you can't argue that it is. Well...you can and are. It's from records he produced and from tours he produced and movies he produced and TV shows he PRODUCED and hosted and from books he wrote...that also featured OTHER comedians. That's "so what?". This is why I call you a propagandist. You slither around your previous comments like the snake you are.
Ron White...is no conservative. He does not prove that conservatives are funny...because he is not a conservative. The rest is, quite simply, just more of your bullshit attempts to blow smoke.
The most successful comic of all time...is what you said. He is not.
Foxworthy isn't a TV show producer/director, etc. He just does standup. He's the most successful STANDUP comedian of all time. Others have made more money in other endeavors.
Yes, other endeavors, like movies, TV shows, books, records, radio and tours. So...he IS a TV show producer...director...etc.
That merely means he's not funny TO YOU. It doesn't mean he's not funny.
Can you show that he's a liberal? Most of the views I've heard him express, except for the fact that he likes to smoke grass, pretty much indicate to me he's more conservative than anything else.
My god man...You agree with me...and argue with me. You said you didn't find other comics funny. Guess what?
Who said he was liberal? I said...he is not conservative...and he isn't.
He thinks everyone is gay, he drinks, smokes, divorces. That would be....please focus...NOT conservative.
And my not finding them funny doesn't mean they're not funny -- it merely means they're not funny, to me. We were discussing Seinfeld. I always liked his show, but my brother hated it. Why? "The only real man on the show is Julia Louis-Dreyfus."
And I disagree -- most of his views are conservative. He's pro-military. He believes in smoking in public places (drinking and smoking are not, by the way vices that most conservatives miss out on, and smoking bans in public have always been driven by liberals). In a land where seven out of 10 marriages end in divorce, you can't assume that "divorced" or "not divorced" represents a political stance.
Now...go back and read what I said about Engvall. Tell you waht...here it is.
Engvall, who I don't think is funny in the slightest,
To me = I don't think...Yet you need to tell me again that comedy is a personal concept. Get over yourself.
I disagree. Ron White is a rollicking good time libertarian. He is not...conservative.
You wrote, "No...if I do not find Engvall funny, then he is not funny. That's how comedy works."
That would mean you're attaching more than just your personal taste to the matter -- you're saying if he doesn't strike you as funny, he's not funny period. There's a difference.
And you are now agreeing with me. I said that more than anything Ron White was a libertarian. It was the first view I ascribed to him.
Yes...and then prodded me as to why he was a liberal...which nobody ever said.
Right...If I do not find him funny....then he is not funny...(to me). This is an aspect of English a man of your letters should have no trouble dealing with. Understood. Obviously...if anyone...ever...in the history of the world...chuckles at a joke, then THEY...personally...find the humor funny. It is always...and without exception, a personal aspect of the audience member, never the comic. THAT is how comedy works. Indeed, how all art forms work. One gets the comedian...or one does not get the comedian. Humor is always in the ear of the beholder.

Jeff Dunham! I love that guy!
Actually, I've read quite a bit that he is a conservative, but then heard others say democrat, and I can't find a link to something that states what he is positively. But his type of comedy does seem to lean right.
As for conservative TV shows...there's been lots of them. Some only lasted a couple years, some went on for many years (just like liberal shows do
). Of course these aren't all comedies like you asked for, but many were or are hit shows.http://www.conservapedia.com/Essay:Greatest_Conservative_TV_Shows
