'Gettin Er Done' In Orlando
(released 7/20/2005; archived 7/24/2005)
By Douglas Lorah
I remember a few years back when there was this guy who used to call into one of our local radio stations. He cracked everyone up with his redneck philosophy. Shortly thereafter, he became a regular at the station.
That guy, Dan Whitney, is known more popularly as Larry The Cable Guy. He is now the hottest comedian in America by a few standards.
- only comedian to debut in the Billboard Top 10
- fastest selling stand-up comedy DVD - over 1 million units in its first week of release
- top-grossing touring comedian 2004 and 2005
He is now going to star in a movie entitled Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector. The movie will be filming in the Orlando area beginning August 1st.
You can register to be an extra in the movie on Saturday, July 23rd. Click here for more details.
