The band's name caused an uproar and Miami city officials held an emergency meeting and voted to prohibit The Ron & Ron Show from holding their Live Gig within Miami city limits.
Without Diaz, and under Paxson, the show soon floundered, and on September 29, 1997, after a successful 11-year run (the last few months of which featured several replacement hosts, all of whom took the name "Ron" in a failed attempted replacement of Diaz), the show was cancelled.
Both videos were huge sellers to their loyal listener base, and pre-dated the Girls Gone Wild series, and MTV's Jackass.
The club was a launching pad for comedians such as Jim Breuer, Brian Regan, Billy Gardell, Tom Rhodes and many others.
The Disciples of Comedy were Ron Bennington, Carl LaBove, Jimmy Shubert, Mitchell Walters, Dan Carlson, Lou Angelwolf, Jeff Apploff, Ralph Williams and Curtain Boy Warren Durso.
The "Live Gigs" were wildly popular and many of them would typically attract crowds estimated between 10,000 and 30,000 attendees.
