Ron White has always been the least "Blue Collar" of the Blue Collar comedy crew, preferring to stand on stage in a suit with a cigar in one hand, a glass of scotch on the rocks in the other. And in Behavioral Problems, his new special that debuted on Comedy Central on Sunday night and comes out Tuesday on DVD, White demonstrates again how he thinks outside of that particular stereotypical comedy box. With his hair a little bit longer and his shape a little bit rounder, White also addresses his arrest in Florida last September, getting caught with "medicinal" marijuana after his private plane landed in Vero Beach for a series of gigs. "These cops drove past three meth labs and a dead hooker just to get there," White cracked. He also takes on Crown Paper for suing him over pointing out that the paper plant made his hometown stink, wants America to sell its military oceanfront property in south Florida to the Jews, loves the bidet in his Seattle hotel, and closes out his hour with jokes about having sex in his 50s. Over at CMT, a blogger asked if Ron White was "Southern" anymore. Does that matter?
Here's how White sees more than a little of himself in the late Norman Mailer:
I’m a crazy fan of Ron and dying to see him on stage! I’m waiting impatiently to attend his show in Glenside next month.
