Marc Stretch
Some know him as Peter Parker, some as Squeeze, others as Go-Go. His mother calls him by his government, Ricky Nelson Govan, Jr. Most of us, though, have come to know him as Marc Stretch, one man mic wrecking crew, and one third of the group Foreign Legion. The number of monikers he dons is exceeded only by his amount of punchlines, weird jobs, and semi professional sports positions. Having moved around the country with a roving tribe of door-to-door grand piano salesmen, variety was the spice of life for a young Marc Stretch. He is, quite literally, a cornucopia of influence, which he flaunts at every opportunity (i.e. always).
