When you said "a staple in his films," what you meant was that you kinda sorta remember seeing it in one episode, that you can't actually indentify, of the TV series he hosted, but of which he only directed 18 (out of 363) episodes, none of which have anything to do with the south.
And this is sufficient for you to come to the conclusion that "Hitch hated Southerners with a passion."
