White is the only member of the Blue Collar crew not to star in the Blue Collar TV series because he didn't want to be typecast as "blue collar," although he says in his performances he simply doesn't have the work ethic for a television show
. He did make seven guest appearances on the show, however. In 2005, The WB Television Network aired the pilot for The Ron White Show, an ill-fated variety show that combined a number of celebrity cameos, cartoons, and sketches. He recently taped several episodes of The Gong Show with Dave Attell as one of the celebrity judges.
