[ Laughter ] Now, when we first started

"Bring the Funny," we knew we had one social media star on our

hands, but little did we know that another one of our judges

would become a viral sensation in front of our very eyes.

Check this out.

#TractorBackThursdays is the hottest Insta trend since

latte art, and just who was responsible?

The man behind America's favorite mustache ‐‐

Jeff Foxworthy.

Instagram can't get enough Jeff Foxworthy.

Move over Chrissy Teigen.

There's a new social media darling in town.

I can't open Instagram without seeing somebody with a

#TractorBackThursday post.

Ariana Grande, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Cardi B.

Cardi B. Yeah.

Wasn't that great?

The kids are craving #TractorBackThursdays.

Taylor Swift, Cara Delevingne, supermodels are doing this, too.

Oh, and another supermodel, Carly Clause.

Maria Menounos here on #TractorBackThursday.

Just want to give a shout‐out to Jeff Foxworthy.

Your old buddy, Larry the Cable Guy.

#TractorBackThursday.

The #TractorBackThursdays hashtag has just surpassed the

world's previously most prolific hashtag ‐‐ #brunchlyfe.

#TractorBackThursdays is at 2.3 million.

Listen, if your name is Jeff Foxworthy, you just might

be an influencer.

[ Cheers and applause ] Give it up for social media's

newest superstar and one of the most successful comedians of all

time, our very own Mr. Jeff Foxworthy!

[ Cheers and applause ] ♪♪♪

♪♪♪ People in L. A. thinks that's

a tractor, so whatever.

So...

[ Laughter ] Alright, we're all adults here.

Since we're all adults, I think maybe we could talk about the

facts of life.

Like, Fact of Life ‐‐ If you are trying to get to the

bathroom in an emergency situation, it is not a wise idea

to unbutton your pants in transit in the effort to save

a couple of seconds because the muscles that guard the flood

gates will interpret the unbuttoning as the signal to

abandon their post...

and the two seconds you save on that button are nullified by the

hour and a half you spend mopping and doing laundry.

[ Laughter ] Fact of Life ‐‐ Out of all of

the cereals, Captain Crunch is the most time intensive.

Here's what I'm talking about.

You eat it too soon after you pour the milk on and you will

rip the roof of your mouth to shreds.

[ Laughter ] You wait too long after you pour

the milk on and the captain will put a film on your teeth

a wire brush can't get rid of.

[ Laughter ] [ Applause ]

Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ] Fact of Life ‐‐ If your wife

hints she might in the mood, your kids will sense it and

won't go to bed for three years.

[ Laughter ] Speaking of kids,

Fact of Life ‐‐ The more kids you have, the worse your

parenting becomes.

People that only have one child are making homemade baby food

out of organic vegetables they're growing in their own

backyard.

Yeah, about the time that fourth kid rolls around, you're smoking

a cigarette while you watch your toddler pull a year‐old Milk Dud

out from under the stove and eat it.

Pick the cat hair off of it 'fore you put it in your mouth,

dummy.

[ Laughter ] Fact of Life ‐‐ 100% of the

Black men that shave their heads look really, really cool.

50% of the white guys that shave their heads look like they just

murdered their parents.

[ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ]

You're thinking of somebody, aren't you?

Fact of Life ‐‐ Flying on an airplane makes you gassy.

Nobody ever talks about this.

Nobody acknowledges this.

No, we just take our little roll‐around suitcase and walk to

baggage claim, popping them off like a trail horse.

[ Laughter ] [ Popping ]

[ Laughter ] Fact of Life ‐‐ Women always

have more questions than men have answers to.

Great example ‐‐ One night I got a text.

The text said, "Please pray for Tom.

He was in a bad wreck."

So, I walked through the house, I found my wife, I said, "Hey,"

said, "I just got a text that said, 'Please pray for Tom.

He was in a bad wreck.'" She said, "Was he driving?"

I said, "I don't know.

I just got a text that said, 'Please pray for Tom.

He was in a bad wreck.'" She said, "Were Carol and the

kids in the car with him?" I said, "I don't know.

I just got a text that said, 'Please pray for Tom.

He was in a bad wreck.'" She said, "Were the people in

the other car hurt, too?" I said, "I don't know.

I just got a text that said, 'Please pray for Tom.

He was in a bad wreck.'" She said, "Did they even have

insurance?" I said, "I don't know.

I just got a text that said, 'Please pray for Tom.

He was in a bad wreck.'" She said, "What hospital did

they take him to?" I said, "I don't know.

I just got a text that said, 'Please pray for Tom.

He was in a bad wreck.'" She said, "You don't know

anything.

What do you know?" I said, "I know you need to pray

for Tom.

I just got a text that said he was in a bad wreck."

[ Applause ] You guys are awesome.

God bless you. Thank you.

[ Laughter ] It's been fun to work with

Chrissy and Jeff and, um...

You can leave it there.

[ Laughs ] You can leave it right there.

Getting paid to laugh all day.

It's pretty amazing.

[ Cheers and applause ] I'm a little ‐‐ I'm a little

verklempt.

I'm a little verklempt.

[ Cheers and applause ] Okay.

Now, as you can see, our judges have moved from the safety of

the judging booth right here into the spotlight.

[ Laughs ] What is this?

[ Laughs ] I hope y'all are hungry, because

a roast is about to be served!

Give it up for the Roastmaster General himself,

Mr. Jeff Ross!

[ Cheers and applause ] Hi, everybody.

[ Laughs ] Hi, Amanda.

Hi.

Great to see you.

You, too. Go easy on 'em.

Oh, no.

Oh, man.

Great to see you, buddy.

How are you?

I didn't know we were doing this.

Really?

It would have been nice to know.

That's okay.

You bet.

How's everybody doing?

[ Cheers and applause ] Oh, gosh.

Yeah, real comedy fans!

I love it!

[ Chuckles ] I am honored to be on the

season finale of "Bring the Funny," which is by

far the funniest show on this network in this time slot.

[ Laughter ] I have a question, okay?

Whose job is it to explain the jokes to Chrissy?

[ Laughter ] Chrissy, why are you still

wearing your napkin from lunch?

[ Audience groans, laughter ] Chrissy and I have a lot in

common.

We both love comedy, we both roasted the president of the

United States...

[ Cheers and applause ] Yep. Yep.

You and me.

...and we both find John Legend attractive.

[ Laughter ] A lot of people ask me, "How

do you make a living in comedy?" I tell them you have to be

talented, work hard, and persevere.

And if that doesn't work, then marry somebody talented who

works hard and perseveres.

[ Laughter ] I knew this was gonna happen.

And the great Kenan Thompson, everybody.

[ Cheers and applause ] I love this guy.

I love this guy.

Everybody has seen you in "Good Burger" and also

Astroburger and In‐N‐Out Burger.

[ Laughter ] Taco Bell.

I'm sorry, man.

I love you, Kenan.

You got your start ‐‐ Remember "All That"?

You guys remember "All That"?

[ Cheers and applause ] Don't build it up just so you

can tear it down.

By the way, "All That" is also how Kenan orders off a

menu.

Oh, snap.

[ Laughter ] Yo, let me just get all that.

You look great, Kenan.

You never age.

And Chrissy, you're aging like fine wine.

And Jeff looks like he's fermenting in a cellar.

[ Laughter ] Jeff Foxworthy!

How is it possible that you're worth $100 million, but you

still look like you make a living disinfecting bowling

shoes?

[ Laughter ] You look like a cartoon

squirrel's grandpa.

[ Laughter ] Jeff, Jeff is now on this show

because apparently, he is not smarter than a 5th grader.

Yeah.

[ Audience groans, laughter ] No. Not even close.

In closing, I'd like to congratulate the judges ‐‐

Chrissy, Kenan, and Jeff on a fantastic season.

I only roast the ones I love, and I love what this show is

doing for comics.

So thank you, everybody.

Roast on!

Good luck to the finalists!

[ Cheers and applause ] I want all that.

Yeah, all that. All that.

All that.

Put your hands together for Jeff Ross!

[ Cheers and applause ] We're gonna take a quick break,

mainly to let everyone recover.

But keep watching because we're edging closer to revealing which

of our five finalists will claim the "Bring the Funny" crown.

See you in a few.
