Ron White continues to be one of the top five grossing comedians on tour. His three Comedy Central stand-up specials are the top three rated specials in Comedy Central history.

After gaining momentum with his standup, White was asked to join Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy on the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour," in 2000. The tour played to sold-out audiences in over 90 cities and grossed over $35 million. The group toured for over three years, during which Warner Bros filmed the guys' stand-up, leading to the theatrical release of the film Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie in 2003. The film's premiere on Comedy Central still remains one of the highest rated movies in the channel's history.

Following on the heels of the success from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie, White released his breakthrough comedy CD Drunk In Public in November 2003 and soon followed up with his first one-hour TV comedy special They Call Me Tater Salad. The special earned Comedy Central the highest rated Sunday in its history, and the show's DVDs and CDs have sold over 2.5 million copies to date.

This past February, White filmed his seventh annual Salute to the Troops, which is currently playing on CMT.
