Jay Leno, Jeff Foxworthy headed to Grand Ole Opry House for joint show

Comedic powerhouses Jay Leno and Jeff Foxworthy are teaming for a co-headlining show at the Grand Ole Opry House during the Nashville Comedy Festival.

The one-time only event is set for 6 p.m. April 14.

Leno is most known as the former long-running host of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” and Foxworthy is a Grammy-nominated best-selling author who gained popularity through his redneck jokes. 

“These two legends, Jay Leno and Jeff Foxworthy, have never shared a stage together,” said David Bastidos of Outback Concerts. “We couldn't be more excited to be the ones to make it happen and bring these two comedy icons to the great city of Nashville for our annual Nashville Comedy Festival.”
