He made his living as
a farmer, sawmill worker, stock car driver and carpenter and did not
enter show business until age 40. He was discovered after a story he
told about catching a record-setting fish was recorded by a Game
Commission investigator and played on the radio. The recording was
developed into an album and became a best-seller. In 1969 he was asked
to join the cast of the country variety show “Hee-Haw." He developed a
character made famous by his bumbling delivery often forgetting lines
and messing up jokes. His most famous role was a used car salesman
inviting potential customers to call his phone number, “BR-549.” He
released several other comedy albums and was twice nominated as
“Comedian of the Year” by the Country Music Association. He remained a
star on Hee-Haw until he died of a heart attack at the age of
fifty-seven. Source: Find-A-Grave
