Daniel Lawrence, better known by his stage name Larry the Cable Guy, is an American stand-up comedian, actor, country music singer, producer, and former radio personality. He was a member of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, including Bill Engvall, and Ron White, among others (with whom he has starred on Blue Collar TV).

But hold just a second; there’s more…

Among his achievements are...

Larry the Cable Guy has launched seven comedy albums, three of which have been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of 500,000 copies. He has also gone on to star in three Blue Collar Comedy Tour–related films, such as “Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector,” “Delta Farce,” and “Witless Protection,” as well as providing the voice of Mater in the Cars franchise.

“Git-R-Done!” is Whitney’s slogan, as well as the name of his book.

Before we go any further, let’s have a look at…

…how one of the world’s wealthiest comedians and well-known performers got to where he is now.

On February 17, 1963, stand-up comedian Larry the Cable was born in Pawnee City, Nebraska, nurtured on a pig farm. He is the son of Shirley Whitney and Tom Whitney, a Christian minister and entertainer.

Other than that…

Whitney attended the Baptist University of America in Georgia and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln after graduating from Berean Christian School in West Palm Beach in 1982. He majored in speech and drama. He attributes his Southern accent impression to his Texas and Georgia housemates.

After trying his hand at comedy, he quit out after his junior year.

Have you ever wondered how a DJ got started in the business?

Larry began his radio journey in the early 1990s when he debuted on “The Ron and Ron Show,” a nationally syndicated program, as well as other radio shows such as “The Bob & Tom Show,” WPDH’s “Waking Up With The Wolf,” KDGE’s “The Chris Baker Show,” and others.

Apart from that…

“Greg and the Morning Buzz” on WHEB 100.3 and “WGIR-FM 101.1” in Portsmouth and Manchester, New Hampshire, respectively, took him to New England, where he did two weekly commentaries.

Yes, you read that correctly.

This is where it gets interesting!

Have you ever wondered how and when Larry the Cable Guy got his stage name?

He started out doing stand-up under his birth name and had modest success, but he rose to fame after creating the Cable Guy character, which he uses throughout his theatrical performance.

Since then…

The Cable Guy persona has a stereotypical redneck appearance and a heavy Southern dialect, who tells anecdotes about his “family” and utilizes his catchphrase, “Git-R-Done!” among other common idioms.

Keeping that in mind…

The RIAA awarded him gold certification for his first two comedy albums, “Lord, I Apologize” (2001) and “The Right to Bare Arms” (2005). In 2007, a third comedy album, “Morning Constitutions,” was released, along with a TV special.

Then there’s this…

On March 15, 2009, Whitney was roasted in a Comedy Central special.

Yes, you got that right.

Here’s a fun fact:

Whitney is a die-hard Nebraska Cornhuskers supporter. In the 2007 film “Delta Farce,” he wore a camo hat with the University of Nebraska–Lincoln moniker “HUSKERS” emblazoned on it.

Not only that…

Despite their differing political views, backgrounds, and comedy material, Whitney is a close friend of contemporary comedian Lewis Black.

We understand exactly what you’re thinking!

Yes! The comic also has a charitable side.

Larry and his wife, Cara, founded the Git-R-Done Foundation in 2009 to help those who have faced challenges above their control.

Besides that…

Whitney contributed $5 million to the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando, Florida, in September 2010.

And because of that…

In May 2012, the hospital opened the Wyatt Whitney Wing, a new wing.

Now that we’re done with his professional career…

…let’s turn the page to a different part of the story: his personal life.

In 2005, Larry married Cara. The couple has two children together. Their first son, Wyatt, was born on August 2, 2006, and their daughter, Reagan, was born on October 29, 2007. The Whitney family lives on a 180-acre (73-hectare) farm in Lincoln, Nebraska.

To sum it all…

Larry the Cable Guy is one of the most successful stand-up comedians in the United States. Because of his talent, he was able to achieve success.

Nevertheless…

Larry is known as a maestro of humor who can make his audience laugh out loud.

The two-time Grammy nominee has undoubtedly paved the route to his followers’ hearts. He has addressed his life’s challenges and revealed his philosophical ideas as a comedian.
