As the cigar-smoking and whiskey-drinking face of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, Ron White has gone from a relatively unknown comic playing in Texas clubs to one of the most successful stand-up comedians in the country. White, a native of Fritch, Texas, has been performing since the mid-'90s and is also known by his nickname "Tater Salad." The nickname comes from a flippant remark he gave to a police officer in Texas, when he asked if White had any aliases. White made up "Tater Salad" on the spot, and the name stuck on his arrest record ever since. With his legions of fans and millions of albums sold, White is one of the most successful comics to come down the pipe in quite some time and shows no signs of slowing down.
