You Knew Him as the Gay Pimp. Where Is Jonny McGovern Now?

Raised By Ricki with Ricki Lake and Kalen Allen

In The Ricki Lake Show’s last season, the Gay Pimp gave people and spaces makeovers, taught us about “metrosexuality,” and tested out some dubious aphrodisiacs. Today, the man behind the Gay Pimp character, Jonny McGovern, joins Ricki and Kalen to talk about the origins of the Gay Pimp, where his career went after his TRLS appearances, and even sings some of his hit song “Soccer Practice” for Ricki and Kalen! Plus, they discuss the myriad reasons why Jonny would not name a character the Gay Pimp today.

Please note, Raised By Ricki contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.
