Today I learned:
1. #BossHogg from #TheDukesOfHazzard’s full name was Jefferson Davis Hogg, after the Confederate President.
2. In an episode of the show, Hogg has an identical “good” twin brother called Abraham Lincoln Hogg (!) played by the same actor dressed in black.
3. Boss Hogg was played by Sorrell Booke, a Jewish actor from Buffalo NY, who was married to Miranda Knickerbocker (!), daughter of Pulitzer Prize-winning anti-Nazi foreign correspondent “Red” Knickerbocker.
