Comedy Central's Michele Ganeless said the "Blue Collar" shows and specials were among the highest rated and brought a new audience to the laugh network.

"We've been pretty proactive about opening up the spectrum and the kinds of people we're working with, and we've been working to get this deal done for a while now," she said.

The network will again record the comics as they perform live for a special called "Blue Collar Comedy Tour, One for the Road."
