Today, while I was looking at YouTube, I came across this video clip of Andy Griffith. And I decided I wanted to share it with you.
Most people know Andy Griffith as a TV star. Some folks are old enough to remember when he made movies like "No Time for Sergeants," which ultimately served as the inspiration for Gomer Pyle.
But the attached clip is from 1953, when Griffith was in his late 20s and he was a standup comedian. In this routine, he was known as "Deacon Andy Griffith," who was trying to explain a football game.
His style reminds me of Jerry Clower, a country comedian you're bound to remember if you grew up in the South. If Clower was a little before your time, think Larry the Cable Guy.
