I know that this world was not made for us, or whatever, but it would be nice if the world didn’t work so hard to remind us of that fact on a daily basis. Come on, world! Give us something that is reasonable and makes sense, and doesn’t make you seem like a barren hellscape completely devoid of rationality From Reuters:
History is partnering with “Blue Collar Comedy” star Larry the Cable Guy for a new series set to premiere this year.
In “Only in America With Larry the Cable Guy” (working title), Larry explores the country, immersing himself in different lifestyles, jobs and hobbies that “celebrate the American experience,” the cable channel said.
Huh? “It’s gonna be like Guy Fieri Road Show but without all that sauce!” Yuck.
You can’t begrudge Larry the Cable Guy his success. Like the Danes Cook and the Jeffs Dunham of the world, he didn’t write himself a check for a billion dollars. His fame and fortune are both predicated on a sizable audience that enjoys what he does, which is pandering regressive faux-populist nonsense. Although to be fair to Larry the Cable Guy, he is as salt of the Earth as you can get when you are a multi-millionaire with a made up name. He is our generation’s Joe the Plumber.
So who better to get out there and ask the difficult questions! Like “which color is your favorite, red, white, or blue?” Herstory!
Whatever. Do what you want, History Channel. I suppose all this means is that I will continue to not watch you. Although, if Larry the Cable Guy has a show on your network, it should clearly be called Got ‘Er Done. A rare miss, History Channel. A rare miss.

This is funny, I don’t care who you are.
this is a real step down from the shows they current run, about which dinosaur could kill a bear first and what the world would theoretically look like if everybody died from a plague of locusts.
Now if there were a show where Larry the Cable Guy had to fight dinosaurs every week, this would be a whole different story. It would be a love story.
Don’t forget all the hourlong specials about the ability of assault weapons to shred stationary targets, and how FUCKING AWESOME we were in World War II. Yeah the History channel has been aiming for this demographic for kind of awhile.
I can only assume this show is part of Armageddon Week, airing between
Mayan Doomsday Prophecy and The Bible Code II: Apocalypse and Beyond.
Is this something that is really happening, or did I somehow add angel dust to my coffee instead of creamer?
Or mescaline by the scoop? (Where’s Tom Waits?)
i hope we get to revisit the day when Larry’s sleeves were history.
Didn’t someone already make the same show but with the guy from Cheers and all the Pixar movies? I guess the History Channel execs thought they could improve on that formula just by adding more FART JOKES.
Larry the CABLE guy? The History Channel is a satellite channel in my country, you cheating bastard.
Can’t wait for the episode where Larry immerses himself in the recently trendy American experience of being unemployed. for the rest of the series.
I’d like to see Larry “celebrate the American experience” by “immersing himself” in a few other “different lifestyles.”
Larry the Cub-le guy? I’ll show myself out
I think it’d be better if he hosted WW2 retrospectives:
Hiroshima: Git ‘Er Done
Time to Cowboy Up For Hitler
Brownshirts and Shoes: The Mussolini Experience
Actually, Daniel Whitney, who plays Larry the Cable guy, has committed himself, Andy Kaufman-style, to the lifelong portrayal of a single comic character, a character who happens to be a terrible (but popular) comedian. It’s kind of genius, in a way. Maybe in a few years, we’ll find out that’s what Jay Leno’s been doing all this time as well.
Too many “,”
Hmm…perhaps it would fit better fit on the Travel Channel? Oh right. the Travel Channel is dominated by Food Shows. I wonder what the Food Network has? [ insert your own joke here ]
He has already been featured on Monster Quest. Not quite a man, not quite an ape.
PANTS ON THE GROUND, HISTORY CHANNEL!
I wonder if Jeff Foxworthy will make a Special Appearance on the first show or the second show.
This is like that time Parker Selfridge had a show on the National Geographic Channel. It makes complete sense.
The history channel is a bunch of Hearst Media Half-Garbage Half-ass info anyway, what’s one more fake show?
um i watch it and it is not fake it is actually the only history channel show that has real information!
“Only in America With Larry the Cable Guy” (working title)
Dear Reuters,
That is a failing title.
um correction it is not a failing title because that is what it is called!
I get it. The ad wizards at The History Channel were like The Simple Life with Paris Hilton was a great show. Let?s re-create that but ante up by adding lots of racism and ignorance.
Woah, now, let’s be fair. I don’t enjoy Larry the Cable Guy, and all I’ve seen are the two Blue Collar Comedy Tours (I was young, be gentle!), but as far as I know a) he’s never had any racist material and b) the most inappropriate jokes he has involve sex. None of the Blue Collar guys use excessive swearing or shock value, and the only stereotypes they invoke are stereotypes of their own culture. So if people wanna dislike Larry the Cable Guy because he’s not funny, fine; but I don’t think he belongs in quite the same category as Dane Cook and Jeff Dunham.
That being said, whaaaaat? You’s some crazy sauce, History Channel.
I think the History Channel pawned the remainder of its shows that were actually about history at that pawn shop in Vegas. Probably where they got the idea for that show. Actually, I kind of really like that show.
I am sure that this show will drive this american life off the air. When it comes to hosts that discuss the quirkiness that is america I choose Larry over Ira Glass ten out of ten times. Oh wait. This show is going to be the worst.
oh kinda like your attitude?
“A rare miss.” Uh, I love History Channel as much as the next guy (The Universe FTW), but there are some genuine turds in the schedule.
“Band of Bloggers” is my favorite!
Git-R-Dämmerung!
Makes sense to me. Larry is the worst fucking comic in the history of the world.
um please state that in a nicer way! I dont like the F word! it basicly means sex so when you say Larry is the worst effing comic in the history world you are basicly saying that Larry is the worst sexy comic in the history of the world.
does anybody know when this show comes on? if its already past when will the next season start?
i love the show only in america with lary the cable guy! it is so funny!
do you guys all have nothing better in your lifes than to hate people?
