The tradition of "hillbilly variety shows" goes way back. Country music and corny humor go hand in hand. It reached its peak with "Hee Haw" which ran strong from 15. Juni 1969 till 27. Dezember 1992. The hosts were Roy Clark and Buck Owens. There were a bunch of shows with a similar format, Laugh In was the urban equivalent.
