NTEA names keynote speaker, opens registration

Oct 9, 2012 9:30 AM

Comedian Jeff Foxworthy  will be the keynote speaker at the president’s breakfast of the next Work Truck  Show, scheduled for March 6-8, 2013 at the Indiana Convention Center,  Indianapolis, IN. He will speak March 7.

Foxworthy is a multiple Grammy Award nominee and best-selling author of more  than 26 books. In his Work Truck Show address, he’ll share his humor and  experiences from a diverse and successful 27-year career in the entertainment  industry. 

  Known  for his redneck jokes, Foxworthy’s act goes well beyond that to explore the  humor in everyday family interactions and human nature, with a style that has  been compared to Mark Twain’s. Foxworthy created and starred in the “Blue  Collar TV” television series and hosted the hit show “Are You Smarter than a  5th Grader?”.    

  In recent years, Foxworthy has  starred in “Blue Collar Comedy Tour, The Movie” and several live comedy tours.  Two sequels to the movie, “Blue Collar Comedy Tour Rides Again” and “Blue  Collar Comedy Tour-One for The Road,” broke Comedy Central ratings records. In  2011, Foxworthy reunited with his Blue Collar colleagues, Bill Engvall and  Larry the Cable Guy, for the Them Idiots Whirled Tour. He currently hosts “The  American Bible Challenge” on GSN.  

  “We’re very excited to have Jeff  speak at the President’s Breakfast,” says Shawn Jacobs, NTEA 2012 Convention  chairman and president & CEO of STS Trailer & Truck Equipment  (Syracuse, NY). “I think he’s going to put everyone in a good mood and set the  stage for a positive, successful Work Truck Show 2013.”  

  Tickets are $59 for NTEA members and $79 for nonmembers if purchased on or  before Jan. 21, 2013. A ticket to the breakfast is also included in the  Complete Event Package, which is $339 for NTEA members and $419 for nonmembers  if purchased on or before Jan. 21, 2013.   To register, and for more information about The Work Truck  Show 2013, visit www.ntea.com or call (800)  441-6832.
