Bill Engvall

Bill Engvall is a Grammy-nominated comedian from Texas who made up one-fourth of the mega-successful Blue Collar Comedy Tour alongside Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White, touring from 2000 to 2006 and making a sketch comedy show together. Since then, Engvall also has starred in multiple solo stand-up specials, his own TBS sitcom, The Bill Engvall Show, made it to the finals of season 17 of ABC's Dancing with the Stars, and had a recurring role on Tim Allen's FOX sitcom, Last Man Standing, in the role of Reverend Paul. He put out his own podcast, "My Two Cents," as well as weekly videos to his followers, "Sunday Morning with Bill." In the summer of 2021, Engvall announced he'd be embarking on his final comedy tour, announcing his retirement from stand-up after more than 40 years. But you'll still see him in the new reality TV series, Blue Collar Auction, and Engvall sat down with me to talk about his career and the lessons he has learned along the way.
