Jefferson Davis "J.D." Hogg, better known as "Boss" Hogg, is a fictional character featured in the American television series The Dukes of Hazzard. He was the greedy, unethical commissioner of Hazzard County. A stereotypical villainous glutton, Boss Hogg always wore an all-white suit with a white cowboy hat and regularly smoked cigars. The role of Boss Hogg was played by Sorrell Booke, who performed frequently on radio, stage, and film prior to his role in The Dukes of Hazzard. Boss Hogg is one of only two characters to appear in every episode of the TV series, the other being Uncle Jesse Duke. His namesake is Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. The "Boss Hogg" nickname is a reference to the European pronunciation of Frank "Boss" Hague, a famous corrupt politician of the early-mid 20th century.

Wopat was born in Lodi, Wisconsin. He attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and made his television debut in the daytime drama One Life to Live; however, he achieved television fame in the popular television series The Dukes of Hazzard (1979–1985). He also embarked on a music career. He has recorded eight albums. Musically, he switches between rock and roll and country music styles, though his last two albums have been of classic pop standards. The latter recording, Dissertation on the State of Bliss, is a collection of Harold Arlen songs. Although Wopat did not have a mainstream recording career that was as long or commercially successful as his counterpart John Schneider's, he nonetheless had several top-40 hits on the country charts in the late 1980s.
Beauregard "Bo" Duke is a fictional character in the American television series The Dukes of Hazzard, which ran from 1979 to 1985. He was played by John Schneider. The name of Beauregard may have been chosen after the famous Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard. Bo and his cousin Luke Duke (Tom Wopat) live in an unincorporated area of the fictional Hazzard County, in Georgia. Bo and Luke own a 1969 Dodge Charger, named The General Lee, which is painted orange, with the Confederate flag on top, and 01 painted on the sides with the name "General Lee" inscribed above the doors that were welded shut for safety. Bo and Luke evade the corrupt officials of Hazzard County, Boss Hogg and Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane and usually end up putting an end to Hogg's latest crooked scheme.


Daisy Duke was the cheerfully buxom hillbilly cousin on the TV show The Dukes of Hazzard. The country-fried car-chase show was a prime-time hit from 1979-1985.

Daisy Duke was played by Catherine Bach; her cousins Bo and Luke Duke were played by John Schneider and Tom Wopat. In a 2005 feature film version of the story, Daisy Duke was played by pop singer Jessica Simpson.
The General Lee is the vehicle driven by the Duke cousins Bo and Luke in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard. It is known for its signature horn, its chases and stunts and for having its doors welded shut, leaving the Dukes to climb in and out through the windows. The car appears in every episode but one ("Mary Kaye's Baby"). The car's name is a reference to the Confederate General Robert E. Lee and it bears aConfederate naval jack on its roof and has a horn which plays the melody from the first line of the song "Dixie".
