Jeff Foxworthy may not be smarter than a fifth grader. He doesn't want Victoria's Secret models on his show?! Is he nuts? Doesn't he want ratings?
TMZ caught up with the proudly redneck host outside of CBS in NYC, where Jeff said he didn't think it was appropriate for leggy ladies in G-strings to match wits with his pint-sized prodigies. Well, gosh darn!

1. Good for you Foxworthy! It's totally ridiculous that their "fashion show" is aired during PRIME TIME TV. They're doing nothing more than parading around nearly naked...I'm proud of you for having the sense to realize that they aren't appropriate "guests" for your show. The models may be perfectly lovely ladies off the catwalk, but they aren't the right image the show wants to convey.

3. What a very smart man. I'm glad he is putting the kids first, before the ratings.

4. TMZ should be ashamed for making fun of people who have morals.. Evidently TMZ reporters to do not know that good ole boys from the south are more morals than they do.

5. I am glad he won't have those tramps on there in their underwear! It is awful that they air that so called "fashion show" during prime time. My kids and I sometimes watch his show. I am glad he can say no and recognizes that they are not appropriate. I've always been a fan of his.

7. He rocks! He doesn't have to go 'blue' to be popular or have great ratings! Good for him - and good for US, too. Tell him Gene Eskew's kid says so!

A: pedophiles.

15. Good for you, Jeff. I am now officially a fan.
Equal Opp Offender: Are you REALLY just a jerk, or pretending to be one? It takes a lot to set me off, but you are an ass. Let me guess; you are a pimply 16 yr old boy, that has never had a date, and spends ALL his spare time on line, saying really STUPID stuff, trying to set people off. Yeah, that hits the nail on the head, doesn't it?
Jerk.
