I was watching American Idol (don't judge me) and there was a banjo playing contestant. Harry Connick Jr. asked her to play the Beverley Hillbillies song so the judges could sing along. Jennifer Lopez stated she had NEVER heard the song before. So Harry and Keith Urban sang it while J Lo sat by with a puzzled expression. I do not believe her. Keith Urban knew it and he did not even grow up in the USA.
shareKeith would have known it because the show was on near constant repeats down here up until the 90's.
I'm not surprised that JLo doesn't know it. I have noticed many people under a certain age have absolutely no knowledge at all of anything outside their brief lifespan.
I don't believe her, either. As a child in Guatemala in the 1980s, we used to get a lot of American TV shows albeit dubbed in Spanish. Some of these included '60s classics like BEWITCHED, GILLIGAN'S ISLAND, and, yes, THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES. J.Lo grew up in the US and surely would have been exposed to it as a child/teen in the '70s/'80s. My older sister (who is four years older than her) married a Puerto Rican (born and raised)) and even they know of THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES.
shareI knew I was getting old when I was talking to this girl and she didn't know who Bob Hope was.
