Ron White, the new Dean Martin?

[Nobody]

@RandMcnally

He does looked sloshed. Every time I’ve seen him perform, he has looked a little drunk. So, if you’re wrong, I’m wrong with you.

@Marley23

I thought showing alcohol being drunk in an ad was illegal. Oh well. Anyway, yes, he does seem to be drinking for real, and it works with his act. I hope he doesn’t have a problem, because from what I’ve seen he’s very funny.

I saw Ron White last year. I snuck out to the bar for a cigarette during the warm-up guy and there was Ron, knocking them back pretty hard. Since we were the only people in the bar and he was there before me I didn’t think it was for show. He wasn’t fall down drunk but kind of loosened up. So I think that yes, it is part of his act, but it ain’t all acting.

Hey, validation, all right! Glad to see I’m not the only one.

@Duffer

I’ve been a RW fan for over 15 years now. I can’t imagine he drinks so heavily that often and still keeps his wit. No idea if he’s on the wagon, but I suspect when performing it’s more an act. At least most of the time.

@ivylass

I like all the Blue Comedy Tour guys, although Larry is my least favorite, if I had to rank them. He is just oh-so-slightly creepy.

Jeff and Bill are tied.

But I could sit and listen to Ron White tell stories all day long.

I think the drinking/smoking is part of his schtick. I don’t think he’d be that successful if he got stinking drunk every time he did his act.

Hey, maybe he’s a functioning alcoholic, or maybe, since he’s such a big guy, for him, drinking a lot causes him to feel no pain, but yet, not get sloppy, word slurring, falling down drunk.
