John Rich stated, “There are shows from the West Coast and shows from the East Coast, but my show is speaking to Middle America! It’s so much fun to literally go from my living room into the living rooms of people all around the country. Rich At Night is a long-time dream come true for me, and I couldn’t be more grateful or excited! Let’s do this!”
