One of the sketches deals with the very serious issue of Corn Addiction, which in Jon’s case, leads to an a dramatic Intervention.  Another sketch makes  fun of Jon’s experience meeting with entertainment execs who try to get him to act more “Southern”.

You can pick up the DVD on Jon’s website here.
