Plot Synopsis

Best friends Jeremiah and Big Ox play pranks on friends, family members, and marks all over Polk County, Florida. This duo uses backwoods ingenuity to concoct the most outrageous pranks imaginable, while describing their thought process and demonstrating what should happen. Then, hidden cameras follow the pair as they prank their unsuspecting victims. According to Jordan Harman, an executive producer and CMT's Vice President of Development and Programming, HILLBILLIES FOR HIRE is different thank PUNK'D and other hidden-camera prank programs, because "this show shows you more behind the scenes of how they figure this stuff out." Plus, Jeremiah is joined by his wife Casey, his four kids, his father Chief, and good friend Drew, who thinks he's a rapper. In each 30-minute episode, these perennial pranksters plan and execute two big pranks, including: getting revenge on their friend Cody, who usually gets too hands on with the ladies, by convincing him that he's won a free massage with a bikini-clad masseuse and then changing her out for Big Ox wearing a thong; teaching their Yankee friend Jay a lesson by first getting him stuck on a port-a-potty raft in the middle of gator-infested waters and then having him shoot at an exploding deer decoy that he thinks is real; and many more redneck gags.
