Jeff Foxworthy Slams Hollywood - Says They Haven't Understood Regular Americans In A 'Long, Long Time'

The comedian Jeff Foxworthy is speaking out to slam the liberal world of Hollywood. Indeed, according to Foxworthy, Hollywood has not understood the average American in a “long, long time.”

Foxworthy Calls Out Liberal Hollywood

“I don’t think Hollywood has understood that audience in a long, long time,” Foxworthy, 67, told Fox News of regular Americans. “I don’t care where they live or where they stand politically, if you sat people down and said, ‘What do you want out of life?’ I bet we would agree on 85% of the things.”

Foxworthy went on to say that everyone wants to love and be loved. We all also want to take care of our families while also having a little entertainment in our free time.

“We want the same things,” Foxworthy explained. “But what happened was, instead of celebrating the 85% that we’re all alike, we yell and scream at each other over the 15% that we’re different. Being different is fine. It would be boring as hell if we were all alike and all thought the same way.”

Foxworthy’s Blue Collar Tour

Unlike most entertainers in the liberal world of Hollywood, Foxworthy actually enjoys talking to people who have a different point of view than he does.

“I think that was the success of the ‘Blue Collar Tour,’ because when the Kings of Comedy came out, Atlanta was one of the first stops, and they had an article about it in the Atlanta paper,” Foxworthy continued. “And it said it was a show for the urban hip audience. And I’m like, ‘’Well, I’ve been to all 50 states, and let me tell you, there’s 200 million people that aren’t urban or hip, so let’s do a show for them.’”

“I just kind of, my comedy comes from this template,” he added. “I just think if I think something or my wife says something or my family does something, I’m going to assume other people are thinking and saying and doing the same things.”

Foxworthy then said that the best compliment that he gets is when someone tells him, “‘Oh my God, you’ve been in our house,’ ‘cause, you know, you’ve made them kind of laugh at themselves. You’ve held something up that they’ve said or thought, and you realize that’s — we all want to belong to something bigger than ourselves.”

It’s then that Foxworthy realizes, “‘Oh, it’s not just me. Other people, other people’s families are as screwed up as ours,’ you know?”

Foxworthy’s New Comedy Special

Foxworthy is currently promoting his new comedy special “The Joke’s On Me” is streaming now on Fox Nation. Last month, he spoke out to reveal why he decided to have politics play no role in this special.

Foxworthy told USA Today that he believes that Americans, regardless of political beliefs, can “agree on 85% of the same things.” 

“We went through a period of where we couldn’t celebrate that 85%,” he said, referring to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We had to yell at each other about the 15%.”

Foxworthy added that he believes that the job of comedy is “to hold up a mirror to the things we do as human beings.” He also thinks that comedy is about asking questions, not getting people to agree on an idea.

“I had comic friends that were like, ‘I think I’m just gonna stop. It’s not fun anymore,'” he concluded. “I fought through it, and I’m glad I did because now people have seemed to have lightened up a little bit, but the truth is we’re all idiots. Nobody has life figured out.”

Hollywood has become so politically biased in the left’s favor that they have alienated millions of Americans who refuse to buy into that liberal nonsense. If the liberal elites of Hollywood want people to start coming to movie theaters again, perhaps they should take Foxworthy’s advice and begin trying to understand what regular Americans want.

We applaud Foxworthy for using his platform to call out Hollywood and take a stand for the average American. If only more celebrities would do the same.

God bless you, Jeff Foxworthy!
