In Gothenburg he met and befriended the other members of the group After Shave and participated in Galenskaparna och After Shave's revue Skruven är lös.{{cite web|url=http://www.kulturtuben.se/gas/jan-rippe|title=Jan Rippe – Kulturtuben|publisher=kulturtuben.se|accessdate=20 November 2016|archive-date=21 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161121171437/http://www.kulturtuben.se/gas/jan-rippe|url-status=live}} He became widely known to Swedish audiences from his role as Roger in the 1986 television comedy series Macken which was broadcast on SVT.{{cite web|url=http://www.gp.se/n%C3%B6je/tv-klassikern-macken-kommer-tillbaka-1.3455|title=Tv-klassikern Macken kommer tillbaka|date=7 March 2016 |publisher=Göteborgs-Posten|accessdate=20 November 2016|archive-date=23 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210423195147/https://www.gp.se/kultur/tv-klassikern-macken-kommer-tillbaka-1.3455|url-status=live}} He also voiced the part of Pumbaa in the Swedish language version of the Disney film The Lion King.{{cite news|url=http://www.expressen.se/gt/kronikorer/glenn-hysen/mitt-i-all-skit-behover-varje-manniska-relaxa/|title=Mitt i all skit behöver varje människa relaxa|publisher=Expressen|accessdate=20 November 2016|archive-date=21 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161121103442/http://www.expressen.se/gt/kronikorer/glenn-hysen/mitt-i-all-skit-behover-varje-manniska-relaxa/|url-status=live}} He did not reprise his role in the sequels and spin-offs in the 90's, due to Peter Rangmar's death of melanoma in May 1997. Rangmar was Timon's Swedish voice and he and Rippe had a close friendship. Rippe reprised the role in The Lion King 1½. Timon were now voiced by Per Fritzell.

Rippe often plays characters that are confused, slow people that make everything the wrong way and have low self-confidence as a result of this.{{cite web|url=http://tuderland.se/material/herrmoro/huvudtext.html|title=Lyckad nedfrysning av herr Moro – Huvudtext|accessdate=20 November 2016|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161121171207/http://tuderland.se/material/herrmoro/huvudtext.html|archivedate=21 November 2016}} Amongst Rippe's roles are Kennet Aalborg in the TV-series En himla många program, the producer Viggo Florin in the film Monopol, and Ernst Ivarsson in Stinsen Brinner.{{cite web|url=http://tuderland.se/personer/aftershave/janrippe.html|title=Jan Rippe|accessdate=20 November 2016|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161121170920/http://tuderland.se/personer/aftershave/janrippe.html|archivedate=21 November 2016}} One of the characters that he often plays is that of Goja, an individual that tells rambling stories without an ending or point. Jan Rippe participated in SVTs television broadcasts of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin as a tittarombudsman.{{cite web|url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/article10742682.ab|title=Ett ögonblick, Jan Rippe...|date=13 January 2006 |publisher=Aftonbladet|accessdate=20 November 2016|archive-date=21 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161121170254/http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/article10742682.ab|url-status=live}}

In October 2016, a theater version of Macken was made at the Lorensbergsteatern, with Rippe playing his original role.{{cite web|url=http://www.expressen.se/gt/noje/det-ska-bli-jattekul-att-aterse-alla-figurerna/|title="Det ska bli jättekul att återse alla figurerna"|date=27 October 2016 |publisher=Expressen|accessdate=20 November 2016|archive-date=21 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161121103445/http://www.expressen.se/gt/noje/det-ska-bli-jattekul-att-aterse-alla-figurerna/|url-status=live}}
