Larry The Cable Guy (real name - Daniel Lawrence Whitney) is a stand up comedian, actor, and one of the co-stars of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and the subsequent series Blue Collar TV. The artist was born on February 17, 1963 in Pawnee City, Nebraska.

Whitney grew up in Pawnee City, Nebraska. He moved to Palm Beach County, Florida with his family when he was 16 where he attended Berean Christian School. Whitney worked at Wendy's until 1985, when he began doing stand-up comedy with other West Palm Beach locals.

Whitney started a career in radio as a disc-jockey in Blue Springs, Missouri. He moved to Omaha, where he was a personality on the short lived alternative station 101.9 The Edge KGDE. This followed by stints at Rock 100 WDIZ and 101.1 WJRR in Orlando before meeting the Blue Collar Boys.
