Ron White rose to prominence as one fourth of the successful Blue Collar Comedy Tour, which ... starred comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy. And while White could've been overlooked among this trio of well-established comedians, he proved himself with insightful observations that managed to be both blunt and razor-sharp. He can frequently be seen on Comedy Central's Premium Blend series and has his own Half-Hour Comedy Hour on the channel. He released the comedy album Drunk In Public in 2003.

He’s best known from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, a three-year marathon road show co-starring good-ol’-boy comics Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, and Bill Engvall.

Comedian Ron “Tater Salad” White is probably best known as the cigar smoking, scotch drinking funnyman from the “Blue Collar Comedy” phenomenon. But in 2006, with two Grammy nominations, a new CD and DVD, his second one-hour special on Comedy Central and a New York Times bestselling book, Ron has established himself as a star in his own right. Ron’s first solo comedy CD, “Drunk In Public,” was released in November 2003, showcasing the insightful and hilarious White, who manages to be both razor-sharp and blunt. Ron’s “Drunk In Public” tour was ranked in the top 50 in Pollstar Magazine 2004 and #63 in 2005. Ron’s second and current one-hour special, “You Can’t Fix Stupid,” aired on Comedy Central to 4.5 million viewers to make it the 3rd largest audience in Comedy Central’s history and the #1 show in prime time on basic cable. The comedy CD of the same name ranked #1 on the Billboard Comedy Charts for nine consecutive weeks and has been nominated for a 2007 Grammy Award.
