What Happened to the 'Hee Haw' Show Regular Actor Junior Samples?

Born Alvin Samples in Cumming, GA, on April 10, 1926, he was a sixth-grade dropout who became a comedian by accident in 1966. Samples spent the first 40 years of his life doing carpentry, driving race cars, and fishing. His son found a large fish head, and Samples told his friends it was from a 22-pound, 9-ounce bass he'd caught, which would have broken the world record.
The state Fish and Game Commission interviewed him on the radio, and his story was clearly false, but the interviewer thought it was hilarious and played it repeatedly on his radio show, to tremendous response. A tape of the story was set to music by the Chart Records label and released as a single called "World's Biggest Whopper."

I love his used car dealer skits! I remember him on TV in the 60s, and started watching him on U tube now a days cause at least Junior is a genius compared to politicians in the news these days!
