Larry the Cable Guy Shares Update After Hospitalization Forces Production Pause on New TV Show

Larry the Cable Guy was hospitalized for a health scare, causing production on his new TV show to be suspended.

The comedian, 63, was forced to pause production on American Mayhem after being diagnosed with appendicitis. He was discharged from the hospital on Saturday, July 25, according to a statement.

“I can confirm that Larry was hospitalized with appendicitis,” a spokesperson told the Daily Mail. “He was discharged today and is recovering well. He’s in good spirits and feeling much better.”

Larry the Cable Guy, for his part, offered his own update via X on Sunday, July 26.

“Getting a lot of messages so just to let ya know I’m all good,” he wrote. “I had major stomach pain and turns out I had appendicitis.”

He continued: “It was removed and after 2 days in the hospital I’m home and recovering. Pretty sore but vitals good, my butt looks fantastic and now just taking stool …”

Before getting his appendix removed, Larry the Cable Guy was filming episodes of his CBS series, American Mayhem. According to a press release, the 52-episode run is scheduled to be released this fall.

The “high-energy clip show” will celebrate “the wildest, funniest, and most outrageous moments caught on camera across the U.S., all brought to life by the beloved funnyman whose unmistakable voice and humor have made him a household name.”

Earlier this month, Larry the Cable Guy spoke to Us about finding the balance when it comes to doing stand-up comedy in a divided political climate.

“We live in the United States of America — somebody doesn’t want to like your act then don’t go see that person’s act. It’s as simple as that,” he exclusively told Us.

Larry the Cable Guy noted he doesn’t “worry about it” when he performs in a “woke” America.

“I already got a pretty good, built-in following and I got some awesome fans,” he shared. “You know, if I think it’s funny I’m going to do it and we’ll see where it goes. If you let it bother you, yeah it’s going to be tough.”

He further added that comedy comes down to personal taste, adding, “That’s the whole key right there. If you don’t like it, it’s like soda pop. Find the one you like and don’t bitch about the others.”
