Local Comedian Corey Forrester To Be On ABC's The View On Tuesday

Comedian Corey Forrester from Chickamauga, will be a featured guest on ABC television's midday show "The View" on Tuesday. The show airs at 11 a.m. on WTVC, Channel 9 in Chattanooga.

Mr. Forrester will be alongside his comedy and writing partners Trae Crowder and Drew Morgan. The trio are currently in the second year of their national comedy tour and authors of the book Liberal Redneck Manifesto: Draggin' Dixie Outta the Dark.

According to the comedian's dad, local advertising creator Dale Forrester, the appearance was the idea of Whoopi Goldberg, the long-standing member of "The View" cast. "Somehow she came across their book and started talking about it a few weeks ago," he said. "And on-the-air she told the producers she wanted to have them on the show. Next thing they know, they're booked!"

The trio, whose tour is titled the WellRED Comedy Tour have performed 14 sold out shows already this year.
