Comedian Ron “Tater Salad” White is probably best known as the cigar smoking, scotch drinking funnyman from the “Blue Collar Comedy” phenomenon. But in 2006, with two Grammy nominations, a new CD and DVD, his second one-hour special on Comedy Central and a New York Times bestselling book, Ron has established himself as a star in his own right. Ron’s first solo comedy CD, “Drunk In Public,” was released in November 2003, showcasing the insightful and hilarious White, who manages to be both razor-sharp and blunt. Ron’s “Drunk In Public” tour was ranked in the top 50 in Pollstar Magazine 2004 and #63 in 2005. Ron’s second and current one-hour special, “You Can’t Fix Stupid,” aired on Comedy Central to 4.5 million viewers to make it the 3rd largest audience in Comedy Central’s history and the #1 show in prime time on basic cable. The comedy CD of the same name ranked #1 on the Billboard Comedy Charts for nine consecutive weeks and has been nominated for a 2007 Grammy Award. Ron received a second 2007 Grammy nomination for the CD, “Blue Collar Comedy Tour - One For The Road.” Ron has appeared on such late-night talk shows as “The Late Show w/ David Letterman” and “The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno.” He currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife.
