Daniel Lawrence Whitney better known as Larry the Cable Guy is a stand-up comedian and one of the co-stars of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and the series Blue Collar TV. He has also starred in the movie Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector and in the upcoming film Delta Farce.

In 1991, Whitney began doing radio comedy where he would call into radio stations as a fictional character. "Larry" was created after his friend from a station asked him to call in as a cable installer, therefore Larry the Cable Guy was born.

He became well known in the south in the early 1990's when he would make regular guest radio appearances on programs such as the Ron and Ron Show. He was also a regular on 101.9 "The Edge" in Omaha on Friday mornings during the late 1990's. Larry the Cable Guy is known for his redneck style humor which is delivered in a thick southern accent while recounting stories about his "family". Often times a woman yells out that she loves him from the audience which usually gets a response as "I told you to wait in the truck". His fictional family includes a grandma that gets the walkin' farts, a grandpa that uses a device to speak due to throat cancer, a brother who is not only deaf, but has Tourette's Syndrome, a sister, Liddie, who is very overweight, another sister, who looks like DeeWayne from the Ozarks who has numerous moles and has been nicknamed "Old Moley", "Holy Moley", and "Guacamoley", the sister's husband who is originally from Mexico, the sister's baby whom he has nicknamed "Rolie Polie Moley", a niece and nephew, parents unclear, who bring home fairy tale books that are now politically correct, and a dog named Wilson whose tail was docked a little too long.

In 2005, Larry the Cable Guy was featured in Gretchen Wilson's music video, "All Jacked Up" where he played himself and a transvestite bar patron. In 2006, he starred in Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector and was the voice of Mater the tow truck in the Disney film Cars.

Whitney currently lives in Sanford, Florida and is married to Cara. In a March 2006 interview he revealed that he and his wife are expecting a child on August 4.

Whitney's act has been criticized for having racist and homophobic comments. He has released many discs and appeared in several films throughout his career. He is not only an amazingly funny comedian, but actor as well!
