Russ Parr

He also worked as a stand-up comic for eight years, performing his first show as an opening act for Joan Rivers in Santa Monica, California.

[citation needed] Before Parr began as a radio personality, however, he had a recording career under the pseudonym Bobby Jimmy.

[3] He scored a few hits, including "Roaches" (a parody of Timex Social Club's song "Rumors"); "We Like Ugly Women,"[1] "One Glove" (a song satirizing Michael Jackson), and "Ugly Knuckle Butt," which still receives airplay on such outlets as the Doctor Demento Show.

In 1989, he left Hollywood (where he was a morning host on Los Angeles' 1580 KDAY, the first all hip-hop radio station) for Dallas, Texas,[citation needed] where he worked at KJMZ 100.3 JAMZ.

[citation needed] In 1996 he moved to Washington, D.C., and Radio One's 93.9 WKYS-FM, where he began the Russ Parr Morning Show with Olivia Foxx.
