Jon Reep

If you don't know the Hickory native from Last Comic Standing, perhaps you have seen him on Comedy Central's Premium Blend or the half-hour special Comedy Central Presents: Jon Reep. Or maybe you've seen him on TBS's Pit Stop Comedy, NBC's Late Friday, or the ABC Sitcom Rodney as Officer Gerald Bob the dim-witted cop. If not then you probably know him from Dodge's popular ad campaign as the "Hemi Guy." Jon Reep is known to millions as the redheaded hillbilly in the Dodge Ram commercials who leans out of a beat-up car and utters the now famous line: "That thing gotta Hemi?"
But before that, Jon Reep was already one of the hardest working comics in America, selling out clubs and getting standing ovations at college after college across the country. Reep's show is supersonic energy filled with non-stop characters, super clever writing, and, of course, the one talent that separates him from all other comedians in the world: Jon Reep is the best redneck dancer since Elvis!
