First and foremost, I am most proud of how 'Hee Haw' did its part to help pave the way for country music to burst from its regional roots to remarkable worldwide popularity.

Roy Clark

I was like, 'Man, bluegrass - that's like Roy Clark playing banjo on 'Hee Haw.' I'm a huge 'Hee Haw' fan. But I didn't know about bluegrass. It seemed like old people's music.

Dierks Bentley

I did an album called 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.' I sang the song on 'Hee Haw.'

Terry Bradshaw

He and the girl had almost nothing to say to each other. One thing he did say was, 'I ain't got any tattoo on my back.' 'What you got on it?' the girl said. 'My shirt,' Parker said. 'Haw.' 'Haw, haw,' the girl said politely.

Flannery O'Connor

I used to rejuvenate in 'Hee Haw.'

Roy Clark

'Hee Haw' was a huge influence on me.

John 5

I had that upbringing. Of watching 'Bonanza,' watching 'Hee Haw,' which both black and white would watch. I rode horses. I did gun spinning as a kid. I do these things.

Jamie Foxx

I've found that there are only two kinds that are any good: slang that has established itself in the language, and slang that you make up yourself. Everything else is apt to be passe before it gets into print.

Raymond Chandler

You might be a redneck if you have every episode of Hee Haw on tape.

Jeff Foxworthy

Ronald Reagan's idea of a good farm program was Hee Haw.

Jim Hightower

'Hee Haw' was a concept that nobody (including myself) thought would ever succeed.

Somebody says, 'Do a Tom Bodett, a folksy kind of thing,' and it sounds like something out of 'Hee Haw,' very insulting. They turn wry humor into disparaging sarcasm, and you get what amounts to insulting advertising.

Tom Bodett

I was always very grateful to 'em and am grateful to 'em now. I went back a couple of years ago and did their 20th anniversary show. But the longer I stayed on Hee Haw, the worse things got for me musically.
