Looks like the comedian Larry the Cable Guy may actually use that heartburn treatment he pitches in those ubiquitous TV commercials.
The 49-year-old performer (real name: Daniel Lawrence Whitney) has a tour rider that calls out for some Prilosec OTC. The “Cable Guy Dressing Room” needs to be stocked with:
* 50 “Hooters style” chicken wings with blue cheese dressing
* “4 cans of Skoal/Berry Blend Long Cut Tobacco (purple can)
*Deli tray with turkey, ham, roast beef, salami, and various cheeses
* “(6) grilled chicken breasts”
* 12 bottles of beer
* 4 cans of Red Bull
* Peanut butter and jelly
* “(1) one loaf of wheat bread (or rolls, croissants, etc.)”
Contract documents show that the comedian receives a guarantee of $155,000 per gig (though his final fee could be higher based on strong ticket sales). Promoters are directed to make Larry’s check payable, of course, to Git-R-Done Productions, Inc.. (1 page)
