Quotes

Bill Engvall: The only reason that Ron is not a member of the permanent cast is because he had is own deal for a television show. However, I am sure that he will be making many more guest appearances. (edit)
Bill Engvall: I also believe that if you work clean not only do you reach a wider audience but you will work longer. I believe that one of the reasons for the success of Blue Collar is that we have tapped an audience that has been largely underserved by the media. (edit)
Bill Engvall (when asked how different stand up was from a variety show): They are two completely different animals, Sketch is fun because you get to play several different characters. I still love the rush of stand-up though, I believe that you dance with who brung you and I will never stop doing stand-up. (edit)
Bill Engvall: For the most part we have a staff of writers, but we submit sketches and ideas to the producers and have a great deal of input creatively. (edit)
Bill Engvall: If you were to ask all four guys individually who their top five bands were I believe that all of us would have Lynyrd Skynyrd in that top five, so it was a natural choice. (edit)
