Bill Engvall started his career on the TV series "Designing Women". He made his big break on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and from there won the American Comedy Awards "Comic of the Year".
Engvall's career took off when he turned his routine "Here's Your Sign," into a song by country music star Travis Tritt. The song was a hit.
Recently, Engvall recorded a Comedy Central special and starred with fellow comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, and Ron White in the hit redneck-themed stand-up movie Blue Collar Comedy Tour. They have been called the "Redneck Rat Pack".
