An Interview with John Henry Faulk (1985)

Austin, Texas' beloved folk humorist tells tales from his book The Uncensored John Henry Faulk. The stories, which range from childhood recollections of life on a South Austin farm to commentary on political figures, embody a populist, egalitarian spirit. Some of these stories are from Faulk's well-known one-man show Pear Orchard USA. Through the use of these folk characters, Faulk made political commentary palatable even to people who might disagree with the message, such as the anti-Nixon stories which he has used before audiences of businessmen. The last section of the program includes a Faulk mini-retrospective, featuring clips of the humorist's past appearances on stage.
