Profile of Comedian Ron White

Ron, ?Tater Salad?, White was born on December 18, 1956 in Fritch, Texas. He is a classic standup comedian. His back ground is indicative of the early years of stand up comedy before the days of DVDs and Comedy Central on cable television.

Ron White burst into the national limelight when he teamed with fellow comedians, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvalls, and Larry the Cable Guy, in a show called ?The Blue Collar Comedy Tour.? The tour produced several popular shows, albums, and a full length DVD that was a best seller. Afterwards, the other three members of the tour went on to star in a regular Comedy Central series based on the Blue Collar tour. Although he has often appeared on the show as a guest, White was not a regular. He gave his reasons for this as not wanting to be type cast as ?Blue Collar?, and he did not have the work ethic necessary for a regular TV show.

This decision did not hurt his career. His first solo comedy CD, ?Drunk in Public?, was released in 2003. It sold over 450,000 copies and spent months on Billboard?s Top Ten Comedy list. A follow up album called, ?You Can?t Fix Stupid?, has also enjoyed great success and has propelled Ron White into the upper echelon of stand up comedians today.

Ron White?s comic style is considered to be very traditional stand up comedy. It is very conversational and mixes honest observations about everyday life with razor sharp wit. A master of image, he dresses entirely in black and always is smoking a cigarette or cigar during his act. He also always is sipping from a glass of scotch whiskey, and alcohol is often a big part of his humor.

He was married to Jeff Foxworthy?s interior decorator in 2004 and currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia. Ron White is a comedian in a classic mold. He has been in trouble with the law over drugs and alcohol use in the past, although not really serious trouble. He is not involved in movies, and his experience in television is limited to his comedy specials. His forte is stand up comedy and he excels at it. He is currently very active on the tour cycle and remains one of America?s more popular comedians.
