More Larry the Cable Guy Information

Larry the Cable Guy set foot onto the radio scene in 1992 as a character on a highly rated Tampa morning show. Eventually he was syndicated in the Orlando market, and soon more stations followed. Today Larry the Cable Guy starts his day with a cry of 'Git-Er-Done' and 'What the hell is this, Russia?' His wacky and outrageous commentaries are carried daily in 35 markets on rock radio and he is also a staple of Jeff Foxworthy's Country Countdown Show on over 100 other stations. There's no question Larry the Cable Guy is opinionated but he's also very likable, winning over his audience on stages, in theaters and on radio stations across the country.

In 2001 Larry the Cable guy put out an album titled, Lord, I Apologize, with track titles like "Looking Good at the Flea Market" and "Martians Got a Thing for Redneck Fellers." The album did well, but his greatest exposure came when Jeff Foxworthy, famous for his "you might be a redneck" jokes, put together a group of Southern comedians. The show, modeled on the popular Kings of Comedy tour included Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White and Larry the Cable Guy, but even on a tour designed around Southern stereotypes, Larry stood out. The tour was turned into a film, The Blue Collar Comedy Tour, and as a mark of who Larry was, the promotional photos showed the other three comedians wearing button-up shirts and slacks while Larry wore jeans, a baseball cap, and a flannel with the sleeves cut off. When the film aired on Comedy Central it became the highest-rated comedy special in the cable channel's history.
