Yakov Smirnoff announced that country music star Joe Diffie will perform shows at Yakov's Theatre in Branson, Missouri. Yakov said, "I've been looking for a great show to have at my theater at 8 p.m. and when I heard that Joe might be interested in performing in Branson it felt like a good fit. When I came to Branson, Joe Diffie's third album was going platinum. On Honky Tonk Attitude Joe was singing Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox and John Deere Green. I was learning how to say ya'll and singing From Red To Redneck. Now Joe can help me learn just what it is that women love about a Pickup Man! What A Country!"Joe Diffie said, "I started thinking about spending more time with my family so having a show in Branson really made a lot of sense. I can do what I love — perform my music in front of some of the best audiences you'll ever find — and be with the ones I love. I'm excited about being in Branson because "˜Only in America' can I have the same opportunities as Yakov. I'll still be doing the Rockin' Roadhouse Tour with Aaron Tippin and Mark Chestnut until I start shows in September at Yakov's Theatre." Joe Diffie's Branson Show premières on Saturday, September 6, 2008.
