An ambassador of good will:
Ron Jeremy |

 Porno
and Disney isn’t the best of combinations. Greater alliances have
been forged. When you look at Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the
thought of them getting it on usually isn’t the first thing that comes to
mind. So, in my head, it’s understandably a plethora of clashing
thoughts when I call up porno god Ron Jeremy in, of all places, the
magical world of Disney in Orlando, FL. But by
conversation's end, any stereotypes I may have had of a man who is and
shall forever be the king of sleaze, are obliterated. When
Jeremy describes his role in his upcoming performance as “An
ambassador of good will thing,” I don’t question his honesty for even a
moment.From the porno industry, his past work, to
his stand up comedy and beyond, we covered pretty much all the bases in our
hour long conversation.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |

“I tell people I got kicked out of porn because of Sammy Sosa,”
Jeremy jokes. “They found a cork in my woody.”
He will make a live Youngstown appearance April 16 at The Nyabinghi. “It’s very exciting,” said Jeremy about his comedy show. “I was in comedy actually way before I was into porn. I’ve gotten back into it now in a big way.” Getting more into the specifics of the act, Jeremy said there’s a variety of aspects included in his live performance to keep the crowd thoroughly entertained. “My comedy show doesn’t last much more than 20 minutes,” he said. “But it’s my own material, and there’s a meet and greet and a Q and A that is pretty comical in itself.” Jeremy plans on bringing a few industry friends along with him, and he alluded to the possibility of a crowd contest at some point in the evening. Aside from his live show the porno king was quite outspoken concerning politics as well as its affect on the industry he has done so much for. |

“Things were getting really good for a long time,” he said. “With the
Howard
Stern movie, the Larry Flint movie, the business was doing really well.
Then the
Republicans came along and put us back into the dark ages.” When asked if he thought the election of a democratic president, namely John Kerry would improve the landscape of the adult industry, Jeremy answered a resounding yes. “Porn is not on the democratic agenda,” he said. “It never has been, and never will be. Democrats are not religiously motivated like Republicans. Think about this for a minute. When Bill Clinton got busted for infidelity in office he had his highest approval rating ever. Who cared if he got his penis sucked?” _____________________________________________________________________________________ |

Not only has Jeremy become synonymous with adult films, but recently he’s
taken
on a host of pitchman gigs for a variety of products. He said it’s
flattering that people use him for endorsements. “I’ve done real well with the products,” he said. “None have failed. It’s kind of a cult thing.” That “cult thing” only got bigger with Jeremy’s appearance on the WB Network’s “Surreal Life.” “People recognize me every where I go,” he said. “Even more so now with the Surreal Life.’ Even at Disneyworld,” he said. “I mean, it’s obviously much more of a family atmosphere here, but people still approach me. And they’re always extremely polite.” And like Jeremy said, that politeness obviously doesn’t go unnoticed, and it seems he returns it two-fold to his fans and on this night to the person interviewing him while he’s on vacation. ‘The show is a comedy of eroticism,” Jeremy said. “It’s a fun time. Anyone that wants to have their picture taken with me, or ask questions can.” An ambassador of good will, indeed. |
