George Strait And The Hee Haw Gang

The Cornfield—Vignettes patterned after Laugh-In’s “Joke Wall,” with cast members and guest stars “popping up” to tell jokes and one-liners. Until his death, Stringbean played the field’s scarecrow, delivering one-liners before being shouted down by the crow on his shoulder; after his 1973 murder, Stringbean was not replaced; and a wooden scarecrow was simply seen in the field as a memorial. Guest stars often participated in this sketch as well; and on occasion, personalities from TV stations that carried Hee Haw, as well as country music radio personalities, would appear in this sketch with Owens or Clark.
