Mikalah Gordon

Mon-Fri: 6AM-10AM

Mikalah Gordon was the youngest contestant on American Idol, season 4. The Las Vegas sweetheart captivated the world with her powerful voice landing her in the top 12 and a legacy with the brand. After her world-wide singing debut, she went on to host American Idol Extra, next, a field correspondent for The Tyra Banks Show. Other major TV experiences followed: Fran Drescher on “Living With Fran” and “The Unit” and more recently as a host for The CW, “America’s Funniest Animals” and “Totally Weird And Funny!”

When it comes to comedy, Mikalah believes that laughter truly is the best medicine. The comedy world was calling her name and she answered with a stand up career beginning in 2012 at the most legendary venues: The Comedy Store and The Laugh Factory.

The First Lady of Comedy?! Who else could serve up a hilarious impersonation of Melania Trump? You guessed it, Mikalah. During the pandemic, her series “Inside Melania” took her viral on Tiktok with 1.6 million followers, and a guest spot on Jimmy Kimmel, and an off Broadway performance in New York.

Taking over the Airwaves: With all the personality, it was only inevitable Mikalah took her talent to the airwaves. First as the morning show host for Channel Q (the first national LGBTQ+ radio show on Audacy) then launching her own podcast “So Funny It Hurts” featuring top comedians and exploring the trauma that makes them funny.

Currently, you can find Mikalah hosting 98.5 KLUC with Chet Buchanan in the mornings, and at night, she is singing with her band, celebrating her new residencies at The FontaineBleu and The Wynn Las Vegas.
