Agreed. The story I heard is Foxworthy wanted a career in standup comedy but he was working for IBM. He's a coder by trade, or something tech. Anyway he saved his pennies and gave himself X number of years to make it (like 5). I think Ray Romano did something similar.
Foxworthy has also done great stuff with kids (charities, books, tv shows). Much respect for him. Just a bit of a shock to see him on Shark Tank, that's all.
