The man who added the catch phrases "Git-R-Done" and "Lord, I Apologize" to the American lexicon has proven himself one of the most successful comics of the early 2000s. Dan Whitney, known better as Larry the Cable Guy, claims he was born in the back of an El Camino during a Foghat concert. His drawl may sound Southern, but Larry was raised on a pig farm in Pawnee City, Nebraska. "Redneck" is a term he is not only fine with, but endorses. His one-liner-filled act soon caught word-of-mouth fire in the South and brought him to the attention of television. His debut CD, “Lord, I Apologize,” appeared in 2001 and has since been the “Dark Side of the Moon” of the comedy charts by sticking in the Top 20 for two years running. In 2002, a Comedy Central airing of “Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie” became the network's highest-rated movie in its 12-year history, even with the DVD widely available. “Larry the Cable Guy: Git-R-Done” became his first solo DVD in 2003, and a year later, Larry, Foxworthy, and Engvall would turn their tour into the highly-rated television show Blue Collar TV. “The Right to Bare Arms” appeared in March the next year.
