I’ve never heard Larry/Dan talk so comfortably about himself. What an excellent interviewer Graham is

[BarbaraBowenPhotography]

I lived in Tampa, Fl in the early 80’s…and Larry the cable guy would call into the Ron and Ron show on a local rock station. On Tues. and Thurs. I would make sure I was near the radio for his two minute call-in as Larry the Cable guy. I lost track of him..then I saw him on the Blue Collar Comedy tour and fell out of my chair! So cool that he made it bug and others appreciated his southern humor. 💕💕🌞🌞🌈☮️

I freakin love this guy. I feel like he genuinely deserves all of his success.

Awe Larry... You tearing up is making me tear up. You're a good dude!

[michaelyoungstrom]

To be able to work with Pixar should bring anyone with tears of joy!! You deserve that role Dan Whitney!❤❤❤❤

Man I can't believe I have not seen this interview until now. What a eye opener. Graham you and your team are the best at showing the reality of all the people you interview. Meaning you strip away the fame and the extra act to just show the true person. You and your team are such a gem to the internet. Wishing you all continued success

I literally grew up listening to Larry The Cable Guy watching most all of his stand-up along with his movies providing me, my mom & my dad many many hours of laughter together.
Because of that Larry The Cable Guy will always hold a special place in my heart.

Thank you Larry the Cable Guy!

I knew obviously that “Larry The Cable Guy” is a character but to hear the guy behind the character speak in his normal voice for the first time really caught me off guard haha!!

[gunnarjordan]

He’s my all time fave comedian. I personally think he’s a genius at comedy and the best at what he does. Very happy for him. He deserves all the success he has! God Bless Dan aka Larry The Cable Guy!

First and foremost, I LOVE that Larry is a Husker. My dad was born and raised in York, NE, so I bleed Big Red. #WeBackBaby

Second, I love his Disney/Pixar story. Nobody could’ve done Mater any better than you, Larry,

[joshabney]

It’s crazy….I was born in 1985😂 That’s when he did his first “Open Mic”…..he’s been one of my FAVORITE Comedians as far back as I can remember✊🏻😂 One of the absolute BEST to ever do it!!! Wish he did more on Social Media and stuff so I could actually see his Routine more🤷🏼 But hey, no matter what he puts out I WILL watch it and most definitely lmao!!✊🏻😂😂😂

[caroldanzer]

I just found Graham on his Bethany Frankel interview - I feel a binge coming on - he’s fabulous ❤

I was diagnosis with hip dysplasia when i was 8, 1973, it took 4 operations 4 years to fix it and i walked with a limp for years then in my 30s i had to have my first hip replacement. living with the pain is horrible. Thank you, Larry, for bringing light to this.

A genuinely funny guy who has made me laugh for years, for which I am thankful. Happy for his success, and for his lovely family. He deserves all of it, since he worked hard to make the big time. Thanks for this insightful interview. Well done.

I stumbled upon this guy sometime back. Now it's normally harder to appreciate American jokes but there's this one he did about the preacher that starts "Are you Lonely...are you sitting Infront of your TV watching this, half naked with a coke in your hand ... " Larry goes like "ah huh" then the preacher says " do you feel the urge to gimme $1000" Larry goes like "Nope! You got the wrong guy!" 🤣🤣🤣 He totally nailed it!
