Larry the Cable Guy
Daniel Lawrence Whitney was born February
17, 1963 in Pawnee City, Nebraska, better known by the stage name Larry
the Cable Guy, is an American stand-up comedian and one of the co-stars
of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and the subsequent series Blue Collar TV.
He also starred in the feature-length movie Larry the Cable Guy: Health
Inspector, and will soon star alongside close friend Bill Engvall in the upcoming film Delta Farce. He
started in Tampa Bay followed by stints at Rock 100 WDIZ and 101.1 WJRR
Orlando before hooking up with the Blue Collar Boys. He became known in
the South in the early '90s when he made regular guest radio appearances
on programs such as the Ron and Ron Show. He was also a regular during
the late 1990s on 101.9 The Edge in Omaha, Nebraska on Friday mornings
when he would call into Chris Baker's morning show. "Larry's" trademarks
are "redneck"-style humor delivered while speaking in an affected thick
Southern accent, recounting bizarre stories about his "family," and the
phrase "Git-R-Done!"
He is also known for his other commonly used
expressions, such as "I don't care who you are. That's funny right
there," "Lord, I apologize for that one there, and be with all the
starving Pygmies down there in New Guinea, Amen!," "What the hell is
this, Russia?," "That's Right," "Toddler Mail," "Edible Britches," and
"Do you believe that?" Often during his acts, a woman in the audience
yells out that she loves him. He usually responds by saying, "I told you
to wait in the truck" - a line cribbed from Tom Waits. He also sings
Christmas songs like "Donny the Retard," "Titty Bar Christmas," and "I
Pissed My Pants". He uses analogies like "Madder than a skinhead
watching the Jeffersons," "Madder than a car load of queers getting
pulled over for doin a 69 in a 55".
