Larry the Cable Guy is 'Only in America'

On Tuesday, Feb. 8, History premieres the one-hour series "Only in America With Larry the Cable Guy," in which the comedian tours from coast to coast in search of things, places and people that define America's unique heritage.

On the road as always, Larry takes time for an e-mail Q&A:

Q: Where did the idea for this show originate?

A: I know it sounds weird, Larry the Cable Guy on History? That's like Charlie Sheen doin' commercials for eharmony.com! But History wanted to find a Brad Pitt-type, David Beckham-ish person, that would not only draw attention with looks and bring ratings to their show from smiling women but, in the process, will celebrate the great culture of America by giving our history a fun twist. That's why they got me, Larry the Cable Guy. This will be a hilarious, informative and new approach to history, and like Pitt and Beckham, I'll be easy on the eyes!

Q: What did you most want to see?

A: The Playboy Mansion, but we never had time to squeeze it in, so I had to settle for Mule Days in Tennessee. I hadn't seen that many big teeth since my family reunion!

Q: If someone who's never been to America sees your show, what do you think they will learn?

A: They'll wanna do what our forefathers did and move here! This place is awesome! They already probably know our culture is the greatest in the world, I'm just showin' it to 'em and makin' 'em wish they were me.
