Ricki starred in Hairspray, which earned her quite a bit of fame, but she’s best known for her talk show Ricki Lake which debuted in 1993 and lasted until 2004. When the show premiered, Ricki was only 24 years old, and was thus credited as being the youngest person to host a syndicated talk show at the time.
