Only in America With Larry the Cable Guy

Listen up America. If all you know about Larry the Cable Guy comes from his stand-up comedy or the few films he’s made, then prepare yourself for a huge surprise. There’s a lot more to the man that some redneck in a sleeveless shirt who says “Git’r Done.” As the host of this delightful History Channel travel show, Larry shows he’s actually a pretty smart guy with a huge appetite for anything America has to show him, be it a day spent making moonshine in the woods of Georgia or an afternoon learning proper etiquette with the descendants of Emily Post. Sure, he sprinkles every episode with corny, and often clever jokes, but the real fun of the show is watching Larry roll up his sleeves, so to speak, to share in the fun with the people he meets. It’s unlike any of the formulaic travel shows out there today, and that’s a good thing.
