11:06 pm
a pig farm in the midwest. very approachable mean to people i like peep. will people can come up to me and talk to me i think i prefer that in my act you see so as for parts of the country yeah i really am of the northeast yeah no doubt you know that's a misconception about me a lot and it really pisses me off people think oh he just a southern actor he's for this or he said that's not true at all i mean i sell ice so in pennsylvania i sell in maine i sell in upstate new york i sell in new york i mean i remember i was going to work in new york and the guy actually had to write an apology i don't remember who the guy was he was a critic in new york city and i was work at radio city music hall and he was and yeah good good luck you know now you're coming to the blue states good luck and i'm thinking to come out of the blue states i'm in work in pennsylvania and selling out
11:07 pm
ten thousand seat arena as i that's pretty blue state so i come down there in the same weekend that i'm at radio city music hall jamie foxx is it madison square garden and soul the two shows in about six hours and i ended up doing i think redistribute holds about six thousand people actually two hundred i ended up doing but won't thousand four hundred people jamie foxx did about nine thousand so to jamie foxx and he got good press and i did so you know what it's a misconception all over the country i've got great fans your accent is you're from nebraska right from nebraska is that in the bread it's unclear how this is so the larry it's a hybrid let me get this out away right away get it up i went to college i'm from nebraska good upon a pig farm town of two hundred mill know where i grew up with cattle farmers and pig farmers i moved to florida florida is is a southern state regardless of how many people moved down here from the north me is
11:08 pm
not but the rest writers but it is full of crackers and went to florida and i was a country kid so i tell around with only cracker kids from florida got it so you picked up yeah it well. and then i went to college in georgia and my roommate was from beaumont texas and mother moved from dalton georgia and i defy anybody i'll tell you right now i defy anybody to hang around with two guys from don't georgia in beaumont texas for three straight years and not start talking like. i just picked it up and then i met foxworthy and we just got together and it would just became a part of me and he this is the third year of only in america with larry the cable guy it's third season tell me about the show how it came about was the concept yeah you know it was something that would be really cool for two reasons number one i feel like it was a good positive show about america you know when this show started coming now
11:09 pm
everybody was pretty much down on the country you couldn't go anywhere america's is america's that people are omes citizens are and i said i want to do a show that is positive and make people proud to be here i want to do a show on success stories people who came here from other countries why did they come to america they came here because it's the freest country in the world and if they have a dream and they work hard they bust ass they can achieve that dream they do go around meeting people and so like for instance real quick sand billy fireworks biggest fireworks company in the world the guy came here mr them billy came here without a dime in his pocket did auden in jobs got him a savings made him some money had a family to raise took almost everything made and wrist it to build this business and but he did it he employs a ton of people it's a great american success story so we when we build fireworks and he shows me what he did i meet his family i show people what it's like so that's it there's
11:10 pm
different cultures in our country that form one great culture and i want to show everything and i never want to know what i'm doing till the day i get there and i want to be spontaneous right and it's been really good i've met. and fun people. it's just been fun and the second reason why i like it everything i do you know larry the cable guys this larry the cable guys that this show gives me an opportunity to not only be glued to cable guy i do the character that i created but it gives me an opportunity to be myself as well so when there's a part that serious and we're talking serious i member when we were doing a show with a guy down in houston texas and he was in the parade our car parade its biggest thing in texas three hundred thousand people show up and he was a mexican immigrant and he no he was jewish immigrant he was from israel and he married a mexican immigrant they're both immigrants and he had his car painted up and he was so proud of this car because it had american soldiers on it and he came in when
11:11 pm
he was a kid all he dreamed about was coming to america he wanted to be free and these are the guys they got a sore freedom oh my gosh and he started crying and i mean it was a touching moment oh and so obviously i'm not going to be like that is that your battle you know i mean i'm not going to you know to me you think when biz whole thing came about that it was kind of weird that larry the cable guy would be on the history channel a little bit as only it wouldn't work yeah when they asked me to do it i thought well that's kind of strange but you know what the history channel i thought of that just rechannel likes me and they have faith in me that i can put together a product that they say that they like and they they think i'm the guy for the job i was pretty flattered about it so i'm good i'm glad they asked me to did one did one portion involves snakes and you it does do with snake does it one thing to snuff or. maybe made a hunchback in
11:12 pm
a limbo contest i'm going to tell you. they had me doing alligators they had me doing snakes i had to do one doing shows on people that work with these things and their lifestyle and so i had to go and i immersed myself in these lifestyles now the latest i did i told them no more alligators i've done about seven shows in the first two seasons why literally almost lost a leg and arm working with you don't need to put out again i don't need i said i'm done with out years no more so this season when they go we go hunt poisonous snakes and spiders so we moved up to that we had we down in florida we had to milk a what is it not on hot on total total ibra the cobra king cobra. that thing came up like this flared up i'm standing about where that camera is and so i was kind of like looking at it and what's it going to do and i kind of came toward it and i did one of those little i went come on king cobra let. me just
11:13 pm
screw around and that thing went. and it got right there and i mean it was really stupid i'm an idiot you are going oh yeah i was true these and these shows i'm really scared i mean it's i'm doing some stuff that's pretty dangerous you've got a lot of success your comedy roasts and everything to you as this big pharma from nebraska do you have a pinch yourself every day and you did it right i do every day it's the most incredible thing and that's that's why i'm glad i'm only in america i myself i'm like an american that's nori you know i mean i just this kid growing up in pony's city nebraska and united and i found a career that i thought i enjoyed you like pigs love them yeah oh yeah well before we go to break what's a special thing we don't know about pigs pigs are the smartest barnyard animal there is and is more of a. pig you can train a pig to do anything i'm not kidding
