From left to right are Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, Jeff Foxworthy and Ron White. Ron White, a.k.a. Tater Salad (born December 18, 1956) is an American stand-up comedian from Fritch, Texas. He is a member of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, which helped elevate White to star status following the original Blue Collar tour and DVD release. 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 has made seven guest appearances on the show, however. In 2005, The WB Network aired the pilot for The Ron White Show, an ill-fated variety show that combined a number of celebrity cameos, cartoons, and sketches. White has said in some of his stand-up that he was primarily raised by his grandmother from when he was 9 until he entered his teenage years. He has also said that when he returned from fighting in the Vietnam War, he developed a serious drug problem, was put on probation, got clean, and then went on to be a public speaker in high schools about the dangers of drug abuse.citation needed] White married Jeff Foxworthy's interior designer, Barbara, in 2004. In You Can't Fix Stupid, he says their honeymoon was on a cruise ship. White is known for wearing all-black outfits, smoking cigars or cigarettes while onstage, and drinking scotch whisky during his act. At one point, when asked what brand of whisky he drinks, he replies that "When they start paying me, I'll start saying what brand it is, how d'you like that?" However, he has disclosed that he drinks The Blue Label from Johnnie Walker, as shown in Blue Collar Comedy Tour: One For the Road, the final Blue Collar show. This is supported by his comment in You Can't Fix Stupid that it is the kind of scotch that is "drunken by people that are going to die penniless" (as Blue Label is a very expensive brand, well over $100 US per bottle depending on the seller). Comedy Releases Besides the Blue Collar Comedy Tour CDs and movies, White has released four solo projects to date: Tater Salad aka. Busted In Des Moines: 1990 Audio CD of an early stand-up gig Drunk in Public: 2003 Audio CD of his solo stand-up [ASIN: B0000TAZHY] They Call Me "Tater Salad": 2004 DVD recording of one of his stand-up concerts. Much the same material as DRUNK IN PUBLIC. [ASIN: B00022PZ2Y] You Can't Fix Stupid: 2006 Release on Audio CD [ASIN: B000C1YPGC] and DVD [ASIN: B000E1OI6W] of new material, and some from his first album. Trivia In his routine, White says he is often asked why he is referred to as "Tater Salad", and tells this story: After being pulled over for driving down the sidewalk and arrested for driving under the influence when he was 17 (1973), White was asked by the arresting officer (whom he had known all his life) if he had any aliases. "Yeah," he replied sarcastically. "They call me 'Tater Salad'." Seventeen years later (1990), White was arrested for public drunkenness after being ejected from a New York City bar ("There seems to be some kind of pattern," he says). When in lock-up, an officer came to him with a copy of his arrest record, and asked "Are you Ron 'Tater Salad' White?" White replied, "You caught me! You caught the Tater!" The name has since stuck. White jokes that he sometimes calls his son, Marshal, "Tater Tot." He also jokes that his dog, Sluggo calls him "Tater", presumably when he is drunk. On the "What's New" page of his official website, Ron White tells the true story of how he got the nickname "Tater Salad":     I've never told anybody this story, ever, of where that name really came from. It wasn't just something I thought up one day. I was in the Navy, and we were having a family day on our ship where you could bring your spouse aboard and there was a picnic and of course — I didn't have anybody, so I was on watch. So this guy Hoskins was supposed to relieve me of my post, and I yelled down to him, "Hey Hoskins get up here and relieve me before somebody eats all that Tater Salad." So he was the first to start calling me Tater Salad. I don't know why I've never told that story before. It's kind of cute.     In 2005, White was subject to Internet rumors of his death. He addressed the rumors on his website. The exact source behind the rumors is unknown, but it is thought that they may have arisen from his act on stage, where he mentioned he was involved in a serious car crash in Mexico that required a metal plate in his head. White jokes that when the doctor implanted the plate he said, "Be careful -- this plate is hot."
