Henry Cho and Gary Mule Deer will join in a discussion about the Grand Ole Opry’s practice of blending humor with musical performances. The comedians will share their own career paths that led them to the world-famous country radio show during a panel at the museum. The Grand Ole Opry has a longstanding tradition of making comedy part of its entertainment mix. Country Music Hall of Fame members Minnie Pearl and Rod Brasfield, Jerry Clower, Lonzo & Oscar, Mike Snider and Stringbean are just a few of the many comic talents who have been Opry cast members. In 2023, the Grand Ole Opry brought acclaimed comedians Cho and Mule Deer into the fold.
