NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Blue Collar Comedy's Ron White will join the Krewe of Orpheus during Monday's parade.
White tells WVUE-TV he's spent many a night in New Orleans but somehow never made it to Mardi Gras. And, he says he's traveled the city's streets on every conceivable form of transportation, except a float.
In addition to White, celebrity notables rolling with Orpheus 2015 include country singer Dierks Bentley; NCIS: New Orleans cast members Lucas Black, Zoe McLellan, Rob Kerkovich and CCH Pounder plus show creator Gary Glasberg; Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump; and the homegrown winner of RuPaul's Drag Race, Bianca del Rio aka Roy Haylock.
The Orpheus parade rolls on Lundi Gras. It's followed by the Orpheuscapade, headlined by Bentley at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
