Out here on the East Coast, the term Jungle Cruise Skipper is a pejorative, sometimes even used to describe performers in non-Disney venues. ("I saw a production of My Fair Lady the other night, and the guy that played Dolittle was a freakin' Jungle Cruise Skipper.") It connotes a hamtacular performer who thinks she/he is much funnier than he/she is.
To be fair, I did see a very funny Skipper on my last trip to CA just a month or so ago. I don't remember his name, but I did tell him after the ride that he had been one of the funniest I had seen.
