I turned on Fox News after we opened presents this morning and who did I see being interviewed but Rodney Carrington. Rodney grew up here and was part of our drinking crew here about 15 years ago. He started doing small time gigs at motel clubs, etc. and stayed pretty busy. When he was running the roads, he would stop by the office when he was in town and bring us his latest CD. He got his break when Sam Kinison saw him somewhere, liked him, and hired him as a warmup act. He now has a show on ABC called "Rodney". I like Rodney but find the humor niche has settled into to be a little cornpone. Rodney has a dumb southern redneck brand of humor that has worked for him. He is actually quite intelligent and just turns that shit on because it worked for him. Good luck Rodney.
