<P> Whitney started his career in radio in the early 1990s when he made regular radio appearances on the nationally syndicated program, The Ron and Ron Show, as well as other radio shows such as "The Bob and Tom show" The Chris Baker Show on KDGE and KEZO's The Todd and Tyler Show in Omaha, Nebraska, as well as the Kirk, Mark, and Lopez morning show on WIYY in Baltimore, Maryland . He was also a frequent guest on The Johnny Dare Morning Show on 98.9 / KQRC, Kansas City . </P> <P> He also appeared on WJRR in Orlando, Florida . He was brought to New England on Greg and the Morning Buzz on WHEB 100.3 and WGIR - FM 101.1 in Portsmouth and Manchester, New Hampshire, respectively, doing two commentaries a week . </P> <P> Initially performing stand - up under his real name with limited success, he became famous after developing the Larry character, a personality that he now maintains throughout his stage act . The Larry character has a stereotypical redneck appearance and a thick Southern accent, recounts stories about his "family", and uses, among other common expressions, his own catchphrase "Git - R - Done!". </P> <P> He says in interviews and in his autobiographical book GIT - R - DONE that he deliberately "turns on" the accent both on and off stage, because he may forget it if he kept his normal accent intact . He uses catchphrase humor, including "Lord, I apologize, and be with the starvin' Pygmies in New Guinea . Amen" after telling jokes of questionable taste; and, "I don't care who ya are, that's funny right there" after jokes that evoke raucous laughter . </P>
