Jeff Foxworthy explains how he coined the term 'blue-collar' comedy and why he loves Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS — Jeff Foxworthy spent a recent Tuesday morning sitting in a tree with a bow and arrow.

"That's kind of who I am," said the 64-year-old comic a few hours later, climbing up a hill from his home in west-central Georgia so he could get phone reception. "I'm very blessed and thankful to be successful at doing this. But I don't have an aircraft hangar with 50 Porsches in it. I have a farm. That's what I did with my money."

Foxworthy's passion for hunting and choice of living off the grid are just a couple of reasons why he remains one of the country's all-time most successful comics.
