I think he is making up a joke name. There are some interesting names on Christian TV. I do not watch TBS. I was saved in a Pentecostal Church. But, that was 20 plus years ago. I have never heard the term used. But, I have noticed some changes in Denomination today.

I have seen the title "first lady" used in black churches. Black church culture is a little different from non black church culture.

This is a bit off topic but I work at a school and years ago a student was not following teacher direction and an argument developed which the little boy basically said to the female teacher,  " I don't have to listen to you, only my mum. She's the Queen at home"...to which the teacher replied, "Well I'm the Queen of this classroom!"...

Lol

"Ahh, ya doesn’t has to call me Johnson! You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me RayJay, or you can call me RJ… but ya doesn’t hafta call me Johnson"

Come to think of it I do remember a "preacher",... Came in every Friday night at the hotel for a room with his first lady.

Never figured out how the first lady managed to look so different each Friday.

 

 

The hotel "business" was a strange one. Not my fondest memory in life. Though God used it to set me in a place for my own salvation, so I guess I should praise God for that  particular five year purgatory.

Interestingly, the only title anyone should have is servant, 

"They love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi.’“Don’t let anyone call you ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one teacher, and all of you are equal as brothers and sisters.[b] And don’t address anyone here on earth as ‘Father,’ for only God in heaven is your Father. 10 And don’t let anyone call you ‘Teacher,’ for you have only one teacher, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you must be a servant./But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers.[b] And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. 11 The greatest among you shall be your servant." (Matthew 23:7-11 NLT and ESV). 

By the way Apostle, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher, and Prophet aren't titles, 

"Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers." (Ephensians 4:11 NLT, and Greek). The word in Greek is ἔδωκεν (edōken) for gift or gave to be Apostles.., which in other parts of Bible is where Holy Spirit bestowed them gifts:
