"I have been blessed with the greatest career anyone could ask
for," says Engvall. "Making people laugh is a dream job and has
fulfilled my life in so many ways. I'm excited to focus on future
opportunities in entertainment and spend more time with my family.
I'm not going anywhere – just hanging up my hat when it comes to
sleeping in the airport and in-room dining."
As proof of that, Bill will be hosting and serving as head
auctioneer in "Blue Collar Auction", a weekly series premiering on
Circle TV this fall.
Bill's early stand-up career was part of the enormously
successful Blue Collar Comedy group with Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, and
Ron White. The success of Blue
Collar Comedy spurred numerous concert films, selling over 9
million units and receiving a Grammy nomination for the brand's
success. Bill starred in the WB hit sketch comedy show "Blue
Collar TV" and several solo comedy specials for Comedy
Central. In 2012, he reunited with Jeff and Larry on "Them
Idiots Whirled Tour", a CMT exclusive, and his most recent special
entitled "Just Sell Him For Parts", was a hit for then owned
Walmart streaming site, Vudu. Bill also starred in and executive
produced the TBS sitcom "The Bill Engvall Show," for 3 seasons and
was seen regularly on the Tim Allen Fox sitcom "Last Man Standing"
in the role of Reverend Paul. He hosted and starred in a variety of
popular gameshows and was a final four contestant on ABC's hit
show, "Dancing with The Stars."
A mainstay on late night television, Bill made regular
appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno" and "Late Night with David
Letterman." He released several award-winning
comedy albums, with his first album "Here's Your Sign"
certifying platinum and holding the #1 position on the Billboard
Comedy Chart for 15 straight weeks. His second album,
"Dorkfish," also debuted at #1 on Billboard's Comedy Chart as did
his subsequent comedy albums. A best-selling author,
Bill has written several books including his autobiography
"Bill Engvall - Just A
Guy."
In addition to his comedy and television accomplishments, Bill
has been involved in several film projects, including writing,
producing, and starring in the comedy feature "Bait Shop" with
Bill Ray Cyrus, and co-starring in
the drama "No Running" which recently premiered at the Tribeca Film
Festival. Other film credits include "Catching Faith,"
"Monster Party," "Wish for Christmas" and the thriller "The
Neighbor."
For over 25 years, Engvall has been managed by Blue Collar
Comedy founder and Parallel Entertainment principal, JP Williams.
"Bill is truly one of the best men I have ever had the privilege of
working with," says Williams. "His honesty and integrity in both
his personal and professional life is second to none, and I have
been fortunate to be a part of his incredible journey. There's
simply no one like him." Bill is also represented by Bob Kinkead of The Kinkead Entertainment
Agency.
