About Bill Engvall
William “Bill” Ray Engvall Jr., an American comedian and actor, was born on July 27, 1957. His estimated net worth is $40 million. Bill Engvall is one of the most “family-friendly” Blue Collar comedians, along with his best buddy and fellow comedian Jeff Foxworthy; he never works blue and much of his comedy is based on his personal life as a family guy. This style of comedy may have been the inspiration for his own TBS sitcom, The Bill Engall Show, which debuted in 2007. Engvall has established himself as an incredibly dedicated and hard-working comedian with eight stand-up albums and over two decades in the business. On top of that, he also seems like a really lovely man.
Galveston, Texas, was Bill Engvall’s birthplace and upbringing. In the early 1990s, he started doing stand-up in comedy clubs in Dallas. Here’s Your Sign, his debut album, was published in 1996. The album earned platinum status and spent 15 weeks at the top of the Billboard humor chart.
You Don’t Have to be Dumb to be Stupid, his debut book, was published in 1997. The wildly popular Blue Collar Comedy Tour was founded by Engvall, Ron White, Jeff Foxworthy, and Larry the Cable Guy in 2000. Then came two concert movies and a WB sketch show.
Engvall started starring in his own sitcom, The Bill Engvall Show, on TBS in 2007.
Announcing his participation in the 17th season of Dancing with the Stars in 2013, Engvall was matched with professional dancer Emma Slater. In 2018, Engvall, Slater, Amber Riley, Jack Osbourne, and Corbin Bleu all advanced to the finals. They came in fourth place overall. Bill Engvall’s net worth is projected to be $40 million as of 2023.
