Yee Haa! Sorry y'all, life got crazy for a hot minute there, but I'm all good and back on the grind! Still got 4 more videos to release from Hazzard Fest! Stay Rebel.
What fun. Im glad Jeff is into it again. Its nice having people that were in it originally come back because they love it still. Man I was like 11-14 when this was on. My dad had custody of me on the weekends and had cable so each friday night I was glued to the tv at his house watching Dukes and Solid Gold.
I so agree, im glad he started coming out to the events! As much as I love the rest of the cast, people are starting to get bored of meeting the same 5 stars at the shows, crowds are getting smaller each year. A fresh face was very much so needed.
Jeff Altman is a comedic genius! He was hilarious on Baywatch, he was in 6 or 7 episodes over 9 seasons. Excellent video as always. Yeehaaww, stay rebel brother 👍
It feels like watching a time capsule opening up. Seeing everybody after all this time, it's amazing. Can't wait to see your video with Ben "Cooter" Jones!
I met most of the cast of Dukes of Hazzard in 2013. I got a General Lee model that plays sounds. I got Rosco, Cleats, Enos, Bo, Cooter and Luke that day. Couldn't meet Daisy.....line to long. But in 2015....I met her and got her to sign it.
I once heard a rumor in the mid 2000's on the Hazzard Net fourms, that the event organizers tried to get Jeff to come to a Dukes event, but he wanted an appearance fee that was more than the other Dukes cast member appearance fees combined. lol I also know that Don (dressed in Boss's suit) met Jeff once over a decade ago, Jeff said that he was approached to be apart of the reunion movie. His agent quoted the producers a price for him to star in it, and he never heard back from them.
I know they have been trying to get him to come out for a long time, but Jeff did a lot more than just Dukes. He definitely had some bigger roles than Hughie Hogg, however now he is pretty much retired from doing a lot of the magic shows, letterman is off air, and I havent heard of him doing any comedy shows in the last few years. But it's cool that he's back in Hazzard and coming out to the events nowadays!
Ive had the pleasure of meeting Rick Hurst in Gatlinburg years ago. One of the nicest people you could ever meet. He and Ben Jones are the only two from the show I've met so far. Both are just the nicest guys. Oddly I missed meeting Jimmy Best in my hometown like a year before he passed. Still regret it. Would love to see Jeff Altman at more Dukes events!
Thats so awesome!!! I agree with you, Rick is so kind! I missed out meeting Jimmy Best but from everything I've heard and seen from folks in the past, he always was willing to jump into character as Rosco. He would have been amazing to meet as well! Im sure Jeff Altman will be around more for future events!
I remembered when Ben started Cooters in the late 90s in Northern Va and met him as a kid (I missed I believe Rick Hurst as there was a super long line for him and Ben showed up later when we got there so there was a shorter line.) I've stopped at the Luray from time to time though it's right at opening so only the gift shop was open but I do plan to stop when I get the time to see everything
John had been watching my channel, because he saw the GTA 5 Skit I made called "Motorized Civil War" where the General Lee races the General Grant. It was an entire Dukes episode I wrote back in 2017. He has followed my content ever since haha! This is the video, you should go check it out! 🔗 ua-cam.com/video/Sv1G7QAd0O0/v-deo.htmlsi=UwxGRBHulZCcgy82
Great video! DOH is my favorite show of all time. I never met Byron Cherry myself, but whatever kind of vitamins he's taking to be so happy, joking, and carefree, i want some of that! Haha what a character!
Thank you so much!!!!! And Byron, out of all the cast members, is the most upbeat and fun of them! He is so nice, ive met him on several occassions on and off camera, always super fun to be around!
For real! Boss Hogg was one of the most crooked politicians, I talked about that in my video where I discussed whether or not the Dukes of Hazzard was racist. You should go check it out, I think you'd really enjoy it! 🔗 ua-cam.com/video/YH70EhjiiFM/v-deo.htmlsi=79_ASOLWrboJm4Sm
Thank you so much!!! I love getting to meet all the fans and network, while having something cool to give them in return! Everyone loves stickers, I've never met a person that didn't want a sticker haha!
Very cool video. Thank you for sharing. I love watching these videos. After I finish up my Christmas shopping (Which is almost done) I need to buy me some of your merch.
The cooters place in Tennessee was pretty awesome I visited a few years ago ...after going to Graceland, the Johnny Cash museum and the willie Nelson one
Awesome video Derek thanks for sharing your doing an awesome job my friend hope you had fun sure looked like it bro Stay Rebel always 🤠💯💯🤘🤙👍👍👍Overland Dave UK 🇬🇧
Uncle boss was actually filmed before arrest Jesse Duke. That's why they don't really explain who he is in arrest jesse Duke. They figured people would have seen uncle boss and known Hughies back story not realizing they were going to.hold the episode over until season 3.
They actually weren't too bad, you just have to time it right. If you show up as soon as the gates open to the event, you will probably end up waiting for a while.
Great vlog! Everybody is so awesome and friendly and I love these vlogs most. Watching for my birthday today and having a good time! May watch some Dukes later today too! Stay rebel, @ChunkeyMonkey40 and ya'll!!!! Yee Haaaaaaa
Thank you so much Dani! And yesss, Hazzard Folk are some of the coolest & kindest folks you can meet! Also: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! I hope you have an awesome day!!!! Stay Rebel! 🤘🏽🐵❤️🇺🇸

Thank you for sharing Derek!!! It is so great to see Hughie Hogg at a Dukes event, I hope he continues to join in with the cast at future events.
I agree brother, I'm so glad that he returned to the fans and started coming to the events. Im glad you enjoyed!

He hasn’t lost his spark, that charisma still shines through! And he sounds exactly the same as he did on Dukes lol

@@ChunkeyMonkey40 True, a throwback to when we were kids. Slapping them on anything and everything. Sort of marking our territory. 🙂
Wish I had all my Dukes stuff I had as a kid
Me too!

What's up Chumkey Monkey? Enjoyed the video. Was that Tom Wopat sitting there signing autographs when you scanned over on.Cletus?
Yes it was. I'm glad you enjoyed the video brother!! 🤘🇺🇸
Most valuable lunch box in the world to me hahahahahaha
The cooters place in Tennessee was pretty awesome I visited a few years ago ...after going to Graceland, the Johnny Cash museum and the willie Nelson one
Thats so cool! I wanna go to Graceland so bad! I have been to the Johnny Cash museum though, that was badass!
that's Awesome! I've got the same lunchbox signed by john schneider hopefully I'll get all the other cast members to sign it.
Hell yeah Gerald! I've been collecting signatures for a long time on this lunchbox haha!

Thank you Brian! I found it at the Howell Antique Store about 8 years ago, been one of my favorite collectibles ever since!
@@ChunkeyMonkey40 I’m a huge Dukes fan myself! We’ve been to cooters down in Nashville,Tn and it was awesome! Childhood memories brother!
Yes indeed!!! Cooters in Nashville is such a cool store!
Hey Mr.Monkey!!Another great video,and remember.FJB!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!!! And yes indeed FJB!!!!
Awsome video bro 🤘
Thank you so much brotha!
@@ChunkeyMonkey40 I wouldn’t sell that lunchbox either,
Haha I will never, one day it'll be in a UA-cam museum, part of the White Trash Section in the corner dedicated to my goofy ass 🤣🤣🤣
I had no clue Cleetus’ son was opie and beta. Crazy
Right!!!!
I Think They Should have used Hughie Hogg for the Duke's of Hazzard Reunion Movie back in 1996 to fill In That empty gap for Sorrell Booke
I so agree!!! Ive always thought that would've been so cool!
When you wish upon a Hogg if you notice the video in the very beginning you would notice a big goof playing The wrong video in the beginning
I'll have to rewatch it and see if i catch it!
Was the lines very long to meet them?
They actually weren't too bad, you just have to time it right. If you show up as soon as the gates open to the event, you will probably end up waiting for a while.
