Comedian Reep, known for his role as Hootie in the sitcom “The Jeff Foxworthy Show,” recently shared how he got his start in comedy. The funnyman revealed that it all began when he was kicked out of a Carolina Panthers game during the team’s inaugural 1995 season.
According to Reep, the incident occurred when the Panthers were playing their home games at Memorial Stadium in Clemson. He recalled that he was simply trying to dance with the team’s mascot, Sir Purr, when security intervened and escorted him out of the game. This embarrassing yet humorous experience inspired Reep to pursue a career in comedy.
Since then, Reep has found success in the entertainment industry, appearing in various TV shows and movies, including his memorable role as Hootie on “The Jeff Foxworthy Show.” His unique blend of observational humor and Southern charm has endeared him to audiences across the country.
Reep’s story serves as a reminder that sometimes, life’s unexpected twists and turns can lead to incredible opportunities. What started as a humorous mishap at a football game ultimately propelled him into a successful career in comedy.
Fans of Reep can catch him performing live stand-up shows at comedy clubs and theaters around the country. With his quick wit and infectious energy, Reep continues to entertain audiences with his hilarious anecdotes and comedic timing. And who knows? Maybe one day, he’ll even get the chance to dance with Sir Purr again – this time, without getting kicked out of the game.
