Bill Engvall Information

Bill Engvall was poised for success when his "big break" came -- a 1992 appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. For a comedian a spot on The Tonight Show traditionally meant you had made it or you were about to. But for Bill Engvall it didn't lead to work. However, the same year Bill Engvall was named Best Male Standup at the American Comedy Awards, delivering the Bill Engvall name from obscurity.

Bill Engvall said he moved a lot as a child and so he used my sense of humor to make friends quickly. After starting out during amateur nights Bill Engvall honed his skills by watching guys like Garry Shandling, Robin Williams, and Jay Leno at the Dallas Comedy Corner. Bill Engvall saved and worked on his material in St. Louis. In 1989 Bill Engvall hosted the Pair of Jokers cable special with Rosie O'Donnell. Then the former Dallas nightclub DJ arrived in Los Angeles in 1990 with a pregnant wife and big dreams.

Bill Engvall appeared on Evening at the Improv. Continuing to perform stand up, an appearance on Designing Womenfollowed. That would later lead Bill Engvall to a regular role on the short-lived spin-off Delta in 1992.

In 1996 Bill Engvall released his debut album, Here's Your Sign. His most famous bit, "Here's Your Sign," proposes hanging signs on people who are stupid, so others would know not to rely on them for anything. Bill Engvall turned it into a song by country music star Travis Tritt, furthering its success.
