Bill Engvall's gentle sitcom is filled with sweet stereotypes |

Now Engvall becomes the second member of the | Read More |

"When I was in fifth grade, all I wanted to do was to make the class laugh," chuckles Foxworthy. "Now, I'm a grownup, and someone's payin' me to do it!"
And, he notes, he'll continue to draw a paycheck for cracking wise, as the quiz show that has kids and adults testing their knowledge has been picked up for a 32-episode, sophomore-season run. Not that the program's success is any big shock to Foxworthy, who'll be | Read More |
