  • Summary

  • In the 1990s, a generation of kids, teens, and young adults got home, kicked off their sneakers, and settled down in front of the TV to watch Ricki Lake. Hosted by Ricki herself alongside TV personality and digital creator Kalen Allen, Raised By Ricki revisits the 90s iconic talk show, The Ricki Lake Show, and the era to which it belonged.

    Part rewatch podcast, part cultural retrospective, and mostly hilarious, join Ricki and Kalen each week along with cultural icons like John Waters, Rosie O’Donnell, and Andy Cohen, past producers, former guests, former audience members and more. Drop your backpack at the door, pop a Hot Pocket in the microwave, and look back on the days where we were all raised by Ricki – and introduce her to a whole new generation today.

    You Grew Up With Ricki and Now She’s Back!
    Sep 2 2022

    Do you remember the wild reality of 90s daytime talk? If you do, then you definitely remember The Ricki Lake Show. Before RuPaul’s Drag Race or Bravo’s Real Housewives, there was Ricki Lake. Before cell phones, 5G or social media, there was Ricki Lake. Cheating, gossip, drama – nothing was too saucy for the show or its live audience! Ricki was the barometer for all things young and trending. And she’s back with a brand-new podcast, to relive it all. This is Raised by Ricki, hosted by Ricki Lake herself along with TV personality and digital creator Kalen Allen, and joined by celebs, past show producers, former guests and more.

    Join Ricki and Kalen as they rewatch episodes, reflect on the culture, and have way too much fun doing it.

  • Rosie O'Donnell, We Want to Know... What Really Happened On Your Old Show

    Rosie O'Donnell, We Want to Know... What Really Happened On Your Old Show
    Sep 15 2022

    You may remember her from “The Flintstones” or even the OG 1992 movie “A League of Their Own," but three years after The Ricki Lake Show first aired, Rosie O’Donnell also made her talk show debut. The Rosie O’Donnell Show featured huge guests like Tom Cruise and Madonna, and Rosie quickly became known for her authenticity and quirky sense of humor. It was also a time when she became friends with her fellow talk-show host, Ricki. This week, Rosie reunites with Ricki to talk with her and Kalen about Rosie's old show, witnessing 9/11, motherhood, and Rosie's experience coming out after leaving the daytime circuit.

#raisedbyricki

I love the title. I was in a sense "raised by Ricki" she normalized what was at the time taboo. and cause me to see some topics in a much more positive light. words cannot express my gratitude for that.
