If the thermostat is stuck open, the radiator is able to cool the antifreeze faster than the engine can heat it.

Does the thermostat keep the air cold on cars?

A thermostat, as used in a motor vehicle, is essentially a heat actuated valve which, when open, allows coolant to cycle through the cooling system. The coolant absorbs heat from the engine and cycles it to the radiator, where the heat is exchanged to the ambient air which flows through the radiator fins. Air conditioning actually works in a similar manner, but is not affected by the thermostat - the thermostat does, however, allow you to have heat in your vehicle.

What might be wrong with a 1993 Jeep Cherokee when the temp gauge goes in the red and a have no heat?

Sounds like the thermostat is stuck. It is supposed to open when the engine heats up to keep the engine cool. The same antifreeze fluid is used to heat the inside of the car. If the thermostat is stuck in the closed position, the fluid cannot flow through the engine (thus cooling it) and through the heat exchanger to heat the passenger cab.
