But it's hard to tell a joke someone will laugh at, harder still to tell a joke strangers will laugh at. That in mind, anyone who can find funny things to say that lots of strangers will pay lots of money to hear is justifiably amazing. Therefore, Jeff Foxworthy is amazing. It's not likely Jeff, or his accountant, cares. Granted, Jerry Seinfeld didn't bother much with albums as his TV show reigned and Foxworthy's two shows bombed.
