Ron White Detailed Biography -

Ron White (born December 18, 1956) is a Grammy Award-nominated American stand-up comedian from Fritch, Texas. He was a member of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, which helped elevate him to star status following the original Blue Collar tour and DVD release. White is known for wearing all-black outfits, smoking cigars or cigarettes while onstage, and drinking scotch whisky during his act. Besides the Blue Collar Comedy Tour CDs and movies, White has released five solo projects to date: He has appeared on the following compilation albums: White also wrote a book called I Had the Right to Remain Silent... But I Didn't Have the Ability (Dutton 2006, ISBN 978-0525949619) which mixes material from his stand-up act with stories from his youth. White is the only member of the Blue Collar crew not to star in the Blue Collar TV series because he didn't want to be typecast as "blue collar," although he says in his performances he simply doesn't have the work ethic for a television show. He did make seven guest appearances on the show, however. In 2005, The WB Television Network aired the pilot for The Ron White Show, an ill-fated variety show that combined a number of celebrity cameos, cartoons, and sketches. He recently taped several episodes of The Gong Show with Dave Attell as one of the celebrity judges.
