Larry the Cable Guy is a huge star because he represents a segment of the population that goes largely unrepresented in mainstream media, but it’s important to remember that Larry the Cable Guy is not a real person. Daniel Whitney was born in Pawnee City, Neb., and grew up on a pig farm as the son of a preacher. It would not be until he went to college and met his Southern roommates that he learned how to perfectly speak in a Southern accent — which he absolutely nails!

And that’s why Daniel Whitney is secretly one of the greatest comedy performers of all time.
