The comedy CD has sold over 500,000 copies and has been certified “GOLD.” His first one-hour comedy special, “They Call Me Tater Salad” earned Comedy Central the highest rated Sunday in its history. The companion DVD has sold 1.4 million copies to date and has been certified Multi-Platinum.

Ron’s second one-hour special, “You Can’t Fix Stupid” aired on Comedy Central to 4.5 million viewers to make it the third largest audience in Comedy Central’s history and the #1 show in prime time on basic cable. The comedy CD premiered at #14 on Billboard’s Top 200, ranked #1 on the Billboard Comedy Charts for 9 consecutive weeks and was nominated for a Grammy Award. Ron also received a second Grammy nomination for the CD, “Blue Collar Comedy Tour - One for The Road.” In 2006 the book Ron ‘Tater Salad’ White: I Had The Right To Remain Silent…But I Didn’t Have the Ability hit #15 on the New York Times Best Seller List.
