Ron White is a stand-up comedian from Texas, who likes to incorporate the style of a simple Texas boy in his shows, often drinking whiskey and smoking cigars on stage.
After time in the Vietnam War, White joined what became known as the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, which was a massive success, selling out all over the US and grossing over $15 million. It then brought him even greater fame when the Tour was released on DVD, and became the highest rated movie in Comedy Central's history.
Deciding not to participate in the subsequent Blue Collar TV show, Ron White went solo, paying a number of guest visits to his friends at Blue Collar thereafter.
Ron "Tater Salad" White has released four solo projects, as well as publishing a book and featuring on his own one-hour special on Comedy Central.
