Larry the Cable Guy Honda Center Info.
Daniel Lawrence Whitney (born February 17, 1963 in Pawnee City, Nebraska), better known by the stage name Larry the Cable Guy, is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and one of the co-stars of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and the subsequent series Blue Collar TV. He 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.
Whitney grew up on a pig farm in Nebraska. When he was sixteen, Whitney's family moved to West Palm Beach, Florida. His father was a preacher who once played guitar with the Everly Brothers. He attended The King's Academy in West Palm Beach, where his father worked as the principal of The King's Academy's elementary school. Whitney played an instrument in the pep band. As a teenager he worked at Wendy's. In 1985, he began doing stand-up comedy at the Comedy Club in West Palm Beach on amateur nights at the encouragement of friends and coworkers; and, in 1991, he began doing radio comedy, where he would call into stations as fictional characters. The "Larry" character was created after his friend from a station asked him to call in as a cable installer.
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 1990s 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, as well as the Kirk, Mark, and Lopez morning show on 98 Rock in Baltimore, MD. "Larry"'s trademarks are "redneck"-style humor delivered while speaking in an affected thick Southern dialect recounting bizarre stories about his "family," and using the phrase "Git-R-Done!" He is also known for his other commonly used expressions.
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".
In 2005, he was featured in Gretchen Wilson's music video for the song "All Jacked Up," playing dual roles as himself and a transvestite bar patron. In 2006, he starred in the film Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector and was the voice of Mater the tow truck in Disney/Pixar's animated film Cars.
Whitney has also seen considerable success from his comedic recordings. His comedy albums Lord, I Apologize, released in 2001, and The Right To Bare Arms, released in 2005, have both been certified gold by the RIAA.
He grew up in Nebraska, which is a mid-western state. He moved to West Palm Beach, in South Florida as a teenager, but people generally don't have Southern accents there; a good percentage are originally from the North East United States. He openly says in interviews (and his autobiographical book, GIT-R-DONE) that he willingly "turns on" the accent.
Larry the Cable Guy is one of a handful of comedians that use catchphrase humor. His most well-known is "GIT-R-DONE" (git er done) but he also has a few others which he mentioned in his book. These include the phrase "Yipper Dipper Ripper Stripper", which he started in his early career, and states as being a series of random, improvised words "with 'stripper' at the end of it." "Lord, I apologize", is one he uses when his joke is rejected by the audience because it is off-colored. For example:
"... I was so mad, I almost socked that cripple in the face. Lord, I apologize for that there... Be with the starvin' pygmies down in New Guinea. Amen"
That too, he claimed, was improvised.
