Dan Whitney, better known as Larry the Cable Guy, claims he was born in the back of an El Camino during a Foghat concert. Regardless, he is one of America’s most successful comedians. Larry’s act caught fire in the South and brought him to the attention of Hollywood, but it was on the Bob and Tom Radio Show that Larry got the most exposure. His success continued when he became a regular on Jeff Foxworthy’s Country Countdown Show, and Larry soon started syndicating his “commentaries” to 14 markets across the country. In 2000, Foxworthy invited the comic to join his Blue Collar Comedy Tour. The successful tour grossed $15 million, sold more than one million copies when released on DVD, and turned Larry into a superstar. His debut CD, Lord, I Apologize, appeared in 2001 and was a hit. In 2002, a Comedy Central airing of Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie became the network’s highest-rated movie in its history. Larry the Cable Guy: Git-R-Done became his first solo DVD in 2003, and a year later, Larry, Foxworthy, and Engvall turned their tour into the highly rated television show Blue Collar TV. The year 2006 was devoted mostly to film, with Larry starring in his own feature film, Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector, and supplying the voice of Mater in the animated Disney/Pixar film Cars. He also appeared on the CD and DVD Blue Collar Comedy Tour: One for the Road, before returning to his solo career with the album Morning Constitutions. More recently, Larry released the albums Tailgate Party and Them Idiots: Whirled Tour.
