Larry the Cable Guy music biography continued...

1963 in Pawnee City, Nebraska, to a father who was a minister. The family moved to Florida when Whitney was a youngster and as the years went by he started performing stand up comedy for larger and larger Southern crowds. Through word of mouth, his act caught the attention of television, and he was invited to perform on several cable shows that grew his audience beyond rural America. He got a big break when he was asked to appear on radio's nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Show. His success with radio continued when he became a regular on Jeff Foxworthy's Country Countdown Show, and soon after he was able to syndicate his comedy bits to 14 markets across the country. In 2000 Foxworthy invited Whitney to join his Blue Collar Comedy Tour, along with Bill Engvall. The blockbuster tour grossed $15 million, sold more than 1 million copies when released on DVD, and turned Whitney into a superstar.



In 2002, a Comedy Central airing of Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie became the network's highest-rated movie in its 12-year history, even with the DVD widely available. Larry the Cable Guy: Git-R-Done became Whitney's 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. Since then, Whitney has continued to release hugely popular comedy CDs like A Very Larry Christmas (2002) and Morning Constitutions (2007), as well as DVDs such as Blue Collar Comedy Tour: One for the Road. Whitney's adoring audience seems to grow with each new production, clearly proving that at heart we are a nation of rednecks.
