‘Git-R-Done’: Larry the Cable Guy to Perform at State of the Industry Dinner
With his signature catchphrase, “Git-R-Done,” Larry the Cable Guy is selling out theaters and arenas across the United States.
On Jan. 17, the comedy superstar will perform at NSSF’s State of the Industry Dinner, which will be held on the opening night of the SHOT Show in Las Vegas.
Congratulations to Nanci Stevens of SHOT Show exhibitor Tuff Products for winning two tickets to the event in our “name the performer” contest. Nanci was the first to post Larry the Cable Guy’s name on our blog yesterday.
Here’s a look Larry the Cable Guy’s impressive resume:
Larry is the host of “Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy” for the History Channel. The show premiered in first quarter of 2011 and was a huge ratings success. In each episode, Larry visits various sites across the country revealing bits of real history while immersing himself in new and different lifestyles, jobs and hobbies that celebrate the American experience. The result: an informative new approach to history that will be as memorable as it is quirky.
Larry is on tour with Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall. The three reunited for “Them Idiots Whirled Tour,” which was filmed as a special for CMT. On July 4, 2009 at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb., Larry performed in front of more than 50,000 and taped his next hour special Tailgate Party for Comedy Central. The show was a thank you to his fans and Nebraska for their longtime support of him. Tickets were sold for only $4 and the show sold out in one weekend. The special aired on Jan. 31, 2010 and the DVD was released on Feb. 2, 2010. The comedy CD of the same name debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Comedy Charts.
On March 15, 2009, the Comedy Central Roast of Larry the Cable Guy aired, and the show, which Larry executive produced, was the third highest rated roast in Comedy Central history, attracting 4.1 million viewers. He also hosted and produced Larry the Cable Guy’s Star Studded Christmas Extravaganza, which aired on CMT to huge ratings success. His Christmas special Larry the Cable Guy’s Hula-Palooza Christmas Luau aired on CMT Nov. 20, 2009.
In 2008, Larry co-starred with Ivana Milicevic, Yaphet Kotto, Peter Stormare, Joe Mantegna, Jenny McCarthy and Eric Roberts in “Witless Protection.” Prior to “Witless Protection,” in 2007 he starred in the film “Delta Farce.” His first feature “Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector” was released in 2006. The comedy starred Joe Pantoliano, Joanna Cassidy and Tony Hale. When the DVD was released in August 2006 it sold more than 1 million copies in the first week of release.
Larry is the voice of Mater in the Golden Globe winning animated feature film “Cars” from Disney/Pixar. “Cars” released in 2006 and opened at No. 1 at the box office and grossed over $200 million in the U.S. alone. Larry voiced Mater in the sequel, which was recently released in theaters.
Larry was part of the highly successful concert Blue Collar Comedy Tour, which grossed more than $15 million. The ensemble cast of comedians included Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall. The tour’s success led to “Blue Collar Comedy Tour, The Movie,” which premiered on Comedy Central in November of 2003 and, at the time, was the highest rated movie in the channel’s history. The DVD has sold more than 4 million units. The sequel “Blue Collar Comedy Tour Rides Again,” has sold more than 3 million units. In March of 2006, the Blue Collar boys reunited to shoot “Blue Collar Comedy Tour, One For The Road” in Washington, D.C., at the Warner Theater. The movie had its world premiere on Comedy Central June 4, 2006, again receiving some of the highest ratings. The soundtrack was nominated for a 2006 Grammy award.
His first comedy album release “Lord, I Apologize” has reached gold status, selling more than 500,000 copies. The CD was No. 1 on the Billboard Comedy Charts for 15 weeks in a row. Larry’s DVD special “Git-R-Done” has sold more than 1 million copies and has been certified platinum. Larry also starred in Blue Collar TV, a sketch comedy series for The WB network which premiered on July 29, 2004. 5.4 million people watched the show and it was the second most watched show on television in that time period.
Larry’s comedy CD “Morning Constitutions” was released in 2007 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Comedy Charts. His previous release, “The Right To Bare Arms” (Jack Records/Warner Bros. Records) debuted at No. 1 on the Soundscan Comedy Chart, No. 1 on the Country Chart, and No. 7 on the Top 200 Chart. This marked the first time in the history of Soundscan that a comedy album has charted at No. 1 on the Country Chart. It has been certified gold (500,000 units) by the RIAA. “The Right To Bare Arms” also received a Grammy nomination. His first Christmas CD “A Very Larry Christmas” has also been certified platinum (1 million units).
Larry won Billboard’s 2005 Comedy Artist of the Year and Comedy Album of the Year. He is a bestselling author and his book “Git-R-Done,” (2005) debuted at No. 26 on the New York Times bestseller list.
Larry was named to Forbes Celebrity 100 list two years in a row (2007 and 2006). This lists the hottest and most successful people in the entertainment industry. Larry has also received the Billboard Top Comedy Tour Award (2006).
