Rev. Gigg LeCarp is a fictional televangelist featured on an episode of Reno 911 . LeCarp, played by Los Angeles radio DJ Brian Phelps, was a former drug user who was arrested by officers Dangle and Garcia. He was incarcerated at the Reno Jail, where he claimed that "God called me, and I answered". He baptized himself in a stainless steel toilet and became a reverend. Ten years later, he returned to Reno, where he claimed that God told him to broadcast a show from the very cell where he was "saved". But, that cell was empty, so Dangle assigned Wiegel and Johnson to arrest some perps to put in the cell. They subsequently arrested a prostitute and a large man who they decided upon after having him sing "Amazing Grace" during a line-up in an American Idol-style competition. Each of the officers had their own opinion of Rev. LeCarp. Williams and Junior said that he was one of the best televangelists around, Williams claiming that he was the "closest thing you're going to get to Jesus this side of heaven", and Wiegel being a fan because she is "impartial to people with very large teeth". Officer Garcia, though, claimed that he would "rather watch a cat eat its own shit", and referred to LeCarp as "Reverend LeCrap" LeCarp's broadcast from the jail cell featured a "blind" Jones, the apparent winner of Wiegel and Johnson's line-up, and the prostitue, who was in a wheelchair per Wiegel's idea that "everybody loves a cripple". Williams, Wiegel, and Johnson were in a choir, and Garcia and Junior were in the background in official deputy uniform. During the show, Rev. LeCarp became enraged while attempting to "save" Officer Garcia and locked the officers in the jail cell. |
