Whitney graduated from Berean Christian School in West Palm Beach in 1982. He went to college at Baptist University of America in Georgia, as well as the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. He excelled at drama and speech. He owes his Southern accent impression to his roommates from Texas and Georgia. After trying his luck at comedy in junior high school, he dropped out.

Personal life

Whitney and his partner Cara married in 2005. They have a son, Wyatt, and a daughter, Reagan. The Whitney family lives on a 200-acre (73 ha) farm in Lincoln, Nebraska. In 2009, the two established the Git-R-Done Foundation to help those that have suffered from situations that were beyond their control. Whitney is a Christian who recommitted to his faith in 2014.

Whitney's hometown, Pawnee, Nebraska, has a street named after him. Whitney also donated money to purchase new musical equipment for the local high school.

Whitney is a huge Nebraska Cornhuskers fan. As seen in the 2007 film Delta Farce, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln nickname "HUSKERS" is emblazoned on his camouflage hat. He is also sporting a gold Nebraska "N" on a chain around his neck. Whitney was thrown into an arm wrestling match by an Army veteran and Nebraska Army National Guard member John O'Connell, who died in less than a minute due to his arm (humerus) broken by Whitney on October 1, 2016.

Career

Whitney began his radio career in the 1990s when he appeared on national syndicated television shows, The Ron and Ron Show, Wakin' Up With The Wolf on WPDH, The Todd and Tyler Show in Omaha, Nebraska, as well as other radio shows such as the Kirk, Mark, and Lopez morning show on WIYY in Baltimore, Maryland.

He appeared on WJRR in Orlando, Florida, also. He was brought to New England by 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.

He began performing stand-up under his real name with little success, but after he established the Cable Guy appearance, he now has a strong demeanor throughout his stage appearance. The Cable Guy character has a stereotypical redneck appearance and a thick Southern accent, and he tells stories about his "family" and uses "Git-R-Done," among other common expressions. "Iris, the queen of the United States, lives on her own."

He says in interviews and his autobiographical book GIT-R-DONE that he deliberately "turns on" the accent both on and off stage because if he kept his normal accent intact, he would forget it. He uses comedic humor such as "Lord, I'm sorry for that," and he's in New Guinea with the actor's Pygmies. After jokes that provoke raucous laughter, Amen" after telling jokes of questionable taste; and, "I don't care who ya are, it's funny right there."

Both Lord, I Apologize (2001) and The Right to Bare Arms (2005), two of his first two comedy albums, have been awarded gold by the RIAA. In 2007, Morning Constitutions, a third album, and its accompanying television special were released.
