As his popularity grew, Larry (whose real name is Dan Whitney) parlayed his bits into a proper stand-up routine and hit the comedy clubs in the Tampa Bay area. His big break came when fellow Southerner Jeff Foxworthy pitched the idea of a comedy tour loosely based on the <I>Kings of Comedy</I>, and asked Larry the Cable Guy to join. The <I>Blue Collar Comedy Tour</I>, which also included Bill Engval, was successful enough to spawn a movie and CD. And while Foxworthy and Engval were clearly the headliners, Larry the Cable Guy gave those well-established comedians a solid run for their money each night of the tour. The positive press and national exposure led to Larry the Cable Guy's own record deal, which saw the release of <I>Lord, I Apologize</I> in 2001. - Linda RyanCountry Humoren720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:52:19 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.58124&rws=%2Flarry-the-cable-guy%2Fmusic-videos.rss Larry the Cable Guy started out doing humor bits for a radio station in Florida.
