Darius Rucker was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday evening.
Rucker, an award winning country music artist, will officially be inducted on Oct. 16.
Rucker performed a couple songs and answered a couple questions from audience members. Then, a third "fan" from the audience asked the question, "Are you still the worst poker player in the world?" Rucker didn't get mad, he just realized it was his friend and Opry member Brad Paisley. Then Paisley asked, "Would you like to be the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry?"
Rucker replied, " "Oh, you're kiddin' me. Yes, I would," and "Wow."
Rucker was the lead singer of the rock band Hootie & the Blowfish, which he founded in 1986, before "turning" country.

OAK GROVE, Ky. (AP) -- An interstate welcome center in southern Kentucky near the Tennessee line won't reopen Wednesday for the Memorial Day holiday as planned.
The welcome center is for westbound Interstate 24 travelers and is near Oak Grove in Christian County and Fort Campbell.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says storms in the area delayed paving work on the welcome center's approaches. A statement on Wednesday said it was unclear when the facility would reopen.
The rest area is at mile point 93.
