By David Rogers. BOONE, N.C. — Football season is fast upon us in 2024 and much of the country can hardly wait. We came across this old standup comedy routine by what was then a 24-year-old Andy Griffith, first written and produced in 1953. For those who haven’t heard it before, it is a fun way to get into the spirit of the upcoming season.
Andy Griffith was born and raised in Mt. Airy, N.C., and passed away in 2012, in Manteo, N.C. In between, he had a storied career as an actor, musician and comedian.
He starred in two long-running TV productions, The Andy Griffith Show (1960-68) and Matlock (1986-95), also appearing in numerous other television productions and feature films. For a full understanding of his life, legacy and influences, please visit his Wikipedia page HERE.
