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 â born Daniel Lawrence Whitney â 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.
Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, with the condition often being treated by removing the organ, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Larry is best known as a member of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour â 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 âBlue Collar TV,â which ran from 2004 to 2006.
Larry is also the voice of Mater, the beloved tow truck character from the Disney/Pixar âCarsâ franchise, with films released in 2006, 2011 and 2017.
In 2021, he competed on Season 6 of âThe Masked Singerâ and appeared in Taylor Sheridanâs massively popular series âYellowstone.â
Larry recently opened up about the state of comedy in the current political landscape.
âWe live in the United States of America â somebody doesnât want to like your act then donât go see that personâs act. Itâs as simple as that,â he told Us Weekly earlier this month.
âI donât worry about it,â he continued. âI already got a pretty good, built-in following and I got some awesome fans. You know, if I think itâs funny Iâm going to do it and weâll see where it goes.â
Larry has been married to his wife, Cara, since 2005 and they share two children: son Wyatt and daughter Reagan.
