CMT offering $50,000 Labor Day prize

Tue Aug 15, 5:13 PM ET

NEW YORK - Expecting a baby around Labor Day weekend? That bundle of joy could mean big bucks if your timing is right.

CMT will award $50,000 to the mother of the first baby born in America during the premiere of

Jeff Foxworthy's new sketch comedy series, "Foxworthy's Big Night Out," on Sept. 1 (8:30 p.m. EDT).

The winner will be the earliest delivery during the local premiere airtime. In the event of a tie, a random drawing will be conducted, the network announced Monday.

To be eligible, the new mom must submit an entry form, found at http://www.foxworthy.cmt.com.

"With eight babies born every minute in this country, it's likely that a baby will be born the exact minute that the new series premieres," said Andy Holeman, CMT's vice president of consumer marketing, in a statement. "Then, the new mother can start to plan her `big night out.'"

Foxworthy, 47, became a mainstream hit with his "you might be a redneck if ..." jokes. Each week, his "Big Night Out" will feature a country-music artist performing songs and appearing in comedy sketches.

Kenny Rogers will be a guest in the first episode.
