actor who is best known for his work as a Stand-up
comedy|stand-up comedian.  He was a member of the
Class of 1979 at the  Georgia Institute of
Technology in Atlanta, but left his mainframe
maintenance job at IBM (where his Dad worked)
after five years to become a full-time comedian.

In 1993, he released You Might Be a Redneck If...

sitcom created out of his stand-up comedy persona.

was canceled after one season. NBC subsequently
picked up the show, but it was again canceled

market his humor; thinking his routine was "too
Southern" for a national network, they based his
sitcom in Indiana.

resurgence as a result of the "Blue Collar Comedy
Tour", in which he and three other comedians
(Larry the Cable Guy, Ron White, and Bill

toured the country and played to record crowds.
The tour lasted three full years, constantly being
extended after an initial run of 20 shows.

Be a Redneck If... (1989) and related "redneck
humor" books, as well as No Shirt, No Shoes, No
Problem! (1996).  He also has released a cookbook
entitled The Redneck Grill, co-authored with David
