Jeff Foxworthy We've Been Thinking...

With just about every show in the dark this week, that’s not going to stop comedy. This week on TV we’ve got one new show and two new specials premiering .

First up, Tuesday on NBC, an adaptation of a Korean series entitled Better Late Than Never. This reality show finds four celebrities (William Shatner, Henry Winkler, Terry Bradshaw, and George Foreman) traveling across Asia with no itinerary and no help, other than intentionally misleading guidance provided by comedian Jeff Dye.

Next up on Friday, we get a brand new stand-up special from Blue Collar legends Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy on Netflix. They’re legends of homestyle humor, teaming up on stage. And they’ve got a few new thoughts to share in Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy: We’ve Been Thinking…

And finally this Sunday this week on TV, Comedy Central will premiere the comedy/music hybrid that’s been sweeping the nation. The Goddamn Comedy Jam is a once-a-month, live comedy event that takes place at the Lyric Theatre in Los Angeles, California. First, comedians perform a set of their comedic material in front of a packed audience, then they must perform a song of their choice with the show’s band. The show is hosted by creator/comedian Josh Adam Meyers. The special coming this week on TV will feature Pete Davidson (SNL), Adam Devine (Workaholics & Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates), Jim Jefferies (Jim Jefferies: Freedumb), Natasha Leggero (Another Period) and Jay Pharoah (SNL).
