Country Fried Home Videos
Country Fried Home Videos or CFHV is a television program that is aired on CMT. It is hosted by Bill Engvall, one of America's stand-up comedians.
Description
The show consists of home videos that people have sent in of things that are considered humorous and/or amazing with narration by the show's host Bill Engvall, and the winner, chosen by Bill, wins the "Here's Your Sign" award (taken from Bill's trademark "Here's Your Sign" standup comedy routine), as well as one thousand dollars. Bill hosts the show from a diner. The show often features a sound effect of a gun cocking before a video begins and always starts with a disclaimer stating that video submissions depicting intentionally dangerous and/or illegal content will be rejected, and ends with Bill asking a waitress, "Waitress's name Check, please."
Recurring features
Along with the regular assortment of videos, the show also includes recurring segments. These have included the following.
The World's Strongest Redneck
The most frequently-seen segment, called "The World's Strongest Redneck", appears in almost every episode. In the segment, The World's Strongest Redneck, Steve McGranahan, does something that takes a lot of strength to do, such as pulling a chain with a car attached to it with his teeth, bending metal objects with his bare hands, ripping a deck of cards in half with duct tape on them, or playing tee-ball with a sledgehammer.
The Great Handini
Another segment, one that is not shown as often as "The World's Strongest Redneck", is called "The Great Handini". In this segment, a person named Maher Haddad makes noises with his body parts, such as using his hands to perform "Yankee Doodle", "Row, Row, Row Your Boat".
Season 1: 2006
There were videos with car, monster truck, or motorcycle wrecks. Also during the show, Bill says his favorite things to do is bet on horse races, go fishing or hunting, or watching monster truck rallies. There was only one episode with bloopers at the end of the show.
Season 2: 2007
A man sends in a video of him putting his head in an alligator's mouth, and then it bites down on his head and the man has to be freed by nearby safety personnel, a woman stuffing her mouth with lots of grapes, and models skiing in bikinis.
Chris Fox plays the Fry Cok on the show. He can be seen at the diner with Bill Engvall.
