- Larry The Cable Guy: I was born and raised in Pawnee City, Nebraska. I lived right next to the sale barn and I raised pigs. My dad was a guidance counselor at Wymore High School. He was also a preacher and did farming as well. We leased out our crop land but had cattle and horses.

- Larry The Cable Guy: Bill Engvall loves heavy metal and used to play drums for Saigon Kick in '87. Jeff Foxworthy's real name is Hyman Stein and (he) has never eaten grits! Ron White once thought he saw the Virgin Mary in a bag of pot! Even though I am doing well in stand-up, everyone close to me knows all I ever wanted to do is dance!
