In celebration of Jeff Foxworthy's "new baby," FOXWORTHY'S BIG NIGHT OUT, CMT will be awarding a total of $55,000 ($5,000 each week) to the mother of the first baby born in America during the premiere of each of the 11 remaining episodes that air Fridays at 8:30 pm ET* on CMT (Friday, September 8 through Friday, November 17, 2006).

"CMT is happy to give away this much cash in honor of Jeff's 'new baby.' It is my understanding that it's polite to send a gift when someone has a new baby," said Andy Holeman, vice president of consumer marketing, CMT. "Plus, it's a great way for CMT to celebrate its newest addition and honor the mothers who have great comedic timing."

If you delivered your baby over "Labor" Day weekend, you may be entitled to $50,000 because CMT is still searching for the mother of the first baby born in America during the premiere of the show at 8:30 pm ET* on Friday, September 1, 2006.

To help find the mothers, CMT launched a massive search campaign including alerting nearly 4,000 hospital delivery rooms across America.

To be eligible for the $50,000 for a BIG NIGHT OUT on CMT, the mother of the baby born at 8:30 pm ET* on Friday, September 1, 2006 must submit an entry form (available at foxworthy.cmt.com) sent to the address listed on the entry form to be received by September 30, 2006.

In the event there was more than one birth at 8:30 pm ET* on September 1, 2006, a random drawing will be conducted. If no babies were born at exactly 8:30 pm ET,* then the mother of the first baby born after 8:30 pm ET* Friday, September 1 will receive the cash for a BIG NIGHT OUT on CMT. Official Rules are available at foxworthy.cmt.com.
