Crowder was the first person in his family to graduate from college and earn an MBA. In 2010, Crowder got his start as a standup comedian following an open mic night at Side Splitters comedy club in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was after this that he evolved his main character, The Liberal Redneck. After his Liberal Redneck videos went viral, he appeared on a number of television and radio shows. Fox has just given a green light to Crowder’s new scripted comedy, based on his life.
