Larry the Cable Guy recovering after hopsitalization for appendicitis
Larry the Cable Guy is on the mend after a recent health scare.
The comedian was hospitalized late Thursday night in Lincoln, Nebraska, and diagnosed with appendicitis by doctors, his representative told TMZ.
After spending a couple days in the hospital, Larry — born Daniel Lawrence Whitney — was released Saturday and is at home and feeling much better, the outlet noted.
Page Six has reached out to a representative for the stand-up comedian.
Larry is best known as a member of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour — a comedy troupe featuring Bill Engvall, Ron White and Jeff Foxworthy that toured between 2000 and 2006.
They also released a documentary film in 2003 and spawned a sketch comedy TV series called “Blue Collar TV,” which ran from 2004 to 2006.
Larry is also the voice of Mater, the beloved tow truck character from the Disney/Pixar “Cars” franchise, with films released in 2006, 2011 and 2017.
In 2021, he competed on Season 6 of “The Masked Singer” and appeared in Taylor Sheridan’s massively popular series “Yellowstone.”
Larry recently opened up about the state of comedy in the current political landscape.
“We live in the United States of America — somebody doesn’t want to like your act then don’t go see that person’s act. It’s as simple as that,” he told Us Weekly earlier this month.
“I don’t worry about it,” he continued. “I already got a pretty good, built-in following and I got some awesome fans. You know, if I think it’s funny I’m going to do it and we’ll see where it goes.”
