On CMT: Host  

Jon Reep
Hickory, N.C., native Jon Reep is one of the funniest stand-up comedians in America and one of the hardest working. He continues his coast-to-coast touring, selling out and blowing away audiences all across the country with his own, distinctive brand of "redneckery," as he calls it.

Repp was a series regular on the ABC sitcom Rodney, playing Gerald Bob, the goofball sheriff's deputy (and Rodney Carrington's hilarious foil). You might also recognize Repp as the pitchman for several commercial campaigns, including the now-legendary Dodge Hemi campaign where his very own catchphrase, "That thing gotta Hemi?," has endeared him to NASCAR and truck fans all over the world.

He has also appeared in his own Comedy Central Presents half-hour comedy special, TNT's Pit Stop Comedy, as well as many other TV stand-up appearances.

Raised in a tire shop, he now resides in Los Angeles.
