Larry the Cable Guy to "Git-R-Done!" in Columbia
1/8/2007 12:00:00 AM | General
With his cry of "Git-R-Done!" and "What the hell is this, Russia?" Larry the Cable Guy begins his daily radio commentaries in cities around the U.S. You might not think a cable installer could be hilariously funny - until you see "Larry the Cable Guy," the church-going, strip bar-going, redneck know-it-all comedian on comedy club stages, theatres and arenas across the land.
Born and raised on a pig farm in Pawnee City, Nebraska, his family then moved to West Palm Beach, Florida. Like many comics, he began his career on a dare at a local comedy club, in 1986. He was immediately hooked. In 1988, he quit his day job as the funniest bellhop at The Ramada and hit the road. It wasn't long before he was wowing comedy club crowds with his high energy one liner style of stand up. He soon made appearances on "Evening at The Improv," "Comic Strip Live," Comedy Central, MTV and Showtime.
Larry the Cable Guy burst onto the radio scene in 1992 as a character on a highly rated Tampa morning show and was subsequently syndicated into Orlando. More stations followed and today his wacky, outrageous and topical commentaries are carried daily in 35 markets on rock radio. He is also a staple of Jeff Foxworthy's Country Countdown Show on an additional 150 stations.
It seems this cable installer has truly made a connection with lots of folks. Larry the Cable Guy has become one of the top comedy club draws in the country. In July 2000, Larry was invited to join the highly successful Blue Collar Comedy Tour starring Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall - and now with Ron White.
Although, there's no question that Larry is opinionated, he is very likable and has repeatedly demonstrated that he has very wide appeal. His commentaries are as fresh as today's headlines and as skewed as a "possum tail."
