- Alan JacksonI was always very grateful to `em and am grateful to `em now. I went back a couple of years ago and did their 20th anniversary show. But the longer I stayed on Hee Haw, the worse things got for me musically.
- Buck OwensI enjoyed the Hee Haw people, but from 1980 on I didn`t enjoy it and thought about leavin`, and thought, hell, it`s an easy job and pays wonderful. I kinda just prostituted myself for their money.
