ABC’s Shark Tank had been on a roll, winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Structured Reality Program four times in a row from 2014-2017 before it was dethroned by Queer Eye in 2018. Netflix’s reboot of the popular 2000s Bravo series had dominated the category since, winning every year since its February 2018 launch. (The original Queer Eye For The Straight Guy won in 2004.)

That changed tonight when veteran Shark Tank took back the category, winning it for the fifth time overall and first since 2017. The structured reality program field has been consistent for the past couple of years, with the same five shows getting nominated in 2023 and 2024, Shark Tank, Queen Eye, the category’s mainstay, PBS’s Antiques Roadshow, which is yet to win after a record 22 nominations, Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Netflix’s Love Is Blind.

Season 16 of Shark Tank debuts Oct. 18 on ABC.

In her new role, Mendez, an 8-time Emmy award-winner, will oversee the development and production of new unscripted television shows for the company, leveraging her extensive background to innovate and expand the company’s portfolio of unscripted content.

TV Personality Cason Kressley revealed his favorite RuPaul’s Drag Race moment in his new uInterview.

“We just crowned our season 16 winner, Nymphia Wind,” Kressley dished. “So many of the contestants are a little overwhelmed by being there amidst those competitors and being judged by [RuPaul], and I think Nymphia had such a great trajectory of starting out a little slow, but I loved her fashion references, her workmanship, the looks she created were mind-blowing.”

He concluded, “By finale time, she was ready to be the winner. She’s very talented.”

Kressley also reflected on his favorite moment on the show. “When they did the Carson Kressley roast,” he said. “They were so funny. It’s like going to your own memorial, but you’re still alive because there’s a lot of great memories.”

Kressley’s career took off in 2003 when he became a prominent figure on the Bravo series...

TV personality Carson Kressley offered his best travel tips in his new uInterview.

Kressley appeared in the Bravo series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and is currently a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race.

“The wisdom I have, I hope, applies to everybody traveling, especially as we gear up for the summer vacation season,” Kressley told uInterview exclusively at an event marking National Travel Advisor Day.

Kressley shared the first big tip: “Book early if you can. You know, most resorts, most all-inclusive, even some theme parks or cruise lines, want to make sure they have a business for the entire year, so if you start now and you’re booking something for September or October, they’re willing to do a better deal for you because they want to fill up those months. So the earlier you book, the better off you are.”

The second tip was to try...

Scout Productions has signed with CAA for representation in all areas, Variety has learned exclusively.

The unscripted production company was originally founded over 25 years ago by David Collins and Michael Williams, who lead the company along with chief creative officer Rob Eric. Between them, the three have over three decades of experience in television, film, publishing, music, and new media.

After Showtime canceled Uncoupled after saving it from cancellation at Netflix, cast members are mourning the Neil Patrick Harris comedy series on social media. “Welp, I guess I’m not going to NYC in May to shoot,” Jai Rodriguez, the former Queer Eye for the Straight Guy star who played pal Jonathan #2 in Uncoupled, wrote in his Instagram Stories, according to Deadline. Dan Amboyer, who played love interest Luke in the series, also reacted to the surprise cancellation on Instagram. “Sad that there won’t be a season 2 of #Uncoupled after all,” he wrote on Friday. “Thankful for my experience, would have loved to see this story go on. Had my eyes set on it as soon as I heard about it, originally. One of my favorite projects (to be a small part of) — and a meaningful moment for me to finally play a gay role on screen. Magic people,...

In early January, the hosts of Netflix’s feel-good series Queer Eye reunited for what might be the last time at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Through tears and smiles, Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, and Jonathan Van Ness proudly raised their long-awaited golden statues.

After six years, five cities, a stint in Japan, and connections with dozens of hometown “heroes” that the food, design, grooming, style, and culture experts helped make over, the quintet — known as the Fab Five — took home awards as producers in the Outstanding Structured Reality Program category.

Designer Jeremiah Brent has joined Netflix’s Queer Eye for Season 9, following Bobby Berk’s exit in November following 8 seasons. Production on Season 9 is set to begin in Las Vegas later this spring.

The multiple Emmy Award-winning series Queer Eye follows 5 fabulous gay professionals—Antoni Porowski, Food and Wine Expert; Jonathan Van Ness, Grooming Expert; Tan France, Fashion Expert; Karamo Brown, Culture; and now Brent, Design—who travel the U.S. helping everyday people by giving them makeovers in their respective specialties. The Netflix series is a reboot of Bravo’s Queer Eye For The Straight Guy.

Brent is an interior designer and founder of Jeremiah Brent Design and lifestyle brand Atrio. A release from Netflix touts Brent’s “fine-honed intuition and sophisticated sensibilities” transforming homes and commercial properties around the world that landed him a coveted spot on Architectural Digest’s AD100.

The designer recently released his first book The Space That Keeps You,...

Former NBC Universal Television Entertainment chairman Jeff Gaspin is taking a job as VP of unscripted series at Netflix — reporting to Netflix VP of nonfiction series Brandon Riegg. It’s a bit of a reversal for the two execs: In 2010, Riegg joined NBC as vice president of alternative series & development, reporting to the heads of alternative programming there, who in turn reported to Gaspin.

It’s a return to the executive ranks for Gaspin, who most recently ran Gaspin Media as president. It was there that his output included Netflix’s “The Tinder Swindler,” as well as its “Rhythm & Flow.” His other credits included “The First Lady.”

“Jeff is such a huge talent, with so much experience across unscripted and television in general, and I couldn’t be more excited that he’s joining us,” said Riegg. “From ‘Rhythm & Flow’ to ‘Tinder Swindler,’ he’s already been part of the...

Netflix has added former NBC Universal Television Entertainment chief Jeff Gaspin to its executive team.

Gaspin will be vp unscripted series at the streamer, charged with curating and growing Netflix’s slate of reality programming. He joins Netflix a month after Jenn Levy, who previously oversaw unscripted series at the company, departed. Gaspin will report to Brandon Riegg, vp nonfiction series.

“I feel a bit like Al Pacino in The Godfather Part III: Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in,” Gaspin said in a statement. “I’m so thrilled to join Brandon and the unscripted team at Netflix. I was always most successful and happiest when I built or ran unscripted at VH1, Bravo and NBCU. I can’t wait to do the same at Netflix.”

Gaspin has worked with Netflix several times as a producer: His company, Gaspin Media, produced Rhythm & Flow and...

Exclusive: Netflix has found its new unscripted chief.

The streamer has hired Jeff Gaspin as VP Unscripted Series after a search for a high-profile figure to lead its burgeoning reality business.

It comes after Deadline revealed that Jenn Levy left the company last month and Brandon Riegg, who is VP Nonfiction Series, to whom Gaspin will report, started a search for top unscripted chief.

There were plenty of big unscripted names in the running for the position and Riegg is understood to have enquired about a number of execs overseeing unscripted for the broadcast networks and major studios.

Gaspin is a big get for Netflix given that he was previously Chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment from 2009-11.

However, his hire is less surprising considering he has been in business with Netflix and Riegg on a number of shows. He exec produced The Tinder Swindler, a true-crime series that was...

Featuring over 70 episodes and two specials, Netflix‘s Queer Eye has been captivating viewers since it first premiered in 2018.

The show follows five LGBTQ advisors as they attempt to improve someone’s life over the span of a week by using their respective areas of expertise. Food and wine expert Antoni Porowski handles culinary education. Designer Bobby Berk does home renovations. Fashion guru Tan France tackles the wardrobe. Grooming genius Jonathan Van Ness gives the makeover. Culture and lifestyle chief Karamo Brown guides them through the whole journey.

A reboot of the 2003 Bravo reality series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, this more modern Queer Eye doesn’t (always) rely on the novelty of put-together gay men “fixing” slovenly straight guys. Instead it often digs deeper into its subjects’ lives and uses its stars natural empathy to help unpack everyday folks’ issues and ultimately instill confidence. As you might expect,...

Former Queer Eye for the Straight Guy star Thom Filicia is leading the charge in advocacy for Myelofibrosis. The reality star has taken up the fight for advocacy for those diagnosed and their families. In an exclusive interview with Showbiz Cheat Sheet, Filicia discussed the initiative, Mapping Myelofibrosis, and hopes it shines a light on this rare bone marrow cancer.

Thom Filicia shares his family’s journey through Myelofibrosis

Myelofibrosis is a type of bone marrow cancer that disrupts your body’s normal production of blood cells. Subsequently, Myelofibrosis causes extensive scarring in your bone marrow, leading to severe anemia that can cause weakness and fatigue, reports The Mayo Clinic.

Filicia revealed that learning of his brother’s diagnosis was the disease was life-changing. “My brother Jules was diagnosed a decade ago, and it completely came out of left field. We were obviously taken aback. It was terrifying because we...

Veteran television executive Jamila Hunter has departed Freeform to take on the role of president of Macro Television Studios.

Macro founder and CEO Charles D. King on Thursday announced Hunter’s new role at the company, where she will oversee the television team and the slate of projects in development and production.

“I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Jamila to the company,” King said in a statement. “She is one of the most stellar and accomplished executives in television and I look forward to adding her wealth of knowledge, leadership skills and extensive experience to the company to propel Macro Television Studios to the next level.”

Hunter joins Macro from Freeform, where she served as executive VP of original programming and development. Under her leadership, Freeform launched “Cruel Summer,” which is executive produced by Jessica Biel and ranks among the network’s most-watched programs ever. Additionally, Hunter’s team developed “Single Drunk Female,...

Visitors to the bathrooms at the Caesars Forum in Las Vegas this weekend will be greeted with mirrors decorated with classic “Real Housewives” quotes, and stalls featuring trivia questions inspired by the intricate universe of Bravo’s reality TV programming — along with product samples and coupons presented by Clorox, one of almost two dozen sponsors of the network’s annual BravoCon fan extravaganza.

“We have every square inch of this thing sponsored,” Sari Feinberg, NBCUniversal’s SVP of marketing, content partnerships and advertising told TheWrap ahead of the three-day event, which is expected to host 25,000+ people beginning Friday.

BravoCon’s debut in Las Vegas this year, after two years in New York City, follows in the footsteps of Star Wars Celebration and Comic-Con, fan conventions that have monetized male-skewing shows for years. Bravo, the cable network, has found a massive live event revenue stream for a heavily female demographic that...

Slasher films are known for their one-liners, both the badass and the embarrassing. Dr. Loomis in the "Halloween" series, Freddy Krueger in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series, Ghostface in the numerous "Scream" flicks, Pinhead in the "Hellraiser" films, and just about everything Chucky has ever said throughout his franchise have all birthed quotes as memorable as the characters who say them. In the delightfully silly "Freddy vs Jason," one of the most infamous lines is not spoken by either slasher icon or even the film's final girl, but by the secondary character Kia, played by Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child.

When Kia comes face to face with Freddy Krueger, she doesn't cower in fear -- she mocks him. Freddy Krueger thrives on fear, and by choosing to humiliate him instead, she defangs him quite a bit. She spends much of the movie being mouthy to everyone anyway, so...

Ever since its inaugural season was honored with the 2018 Emmy for Best Structured Reality Program, “Queer Eye” has dominated the category and shows no signs of stopping. In its quest for its sixth consecutive victory, the lifestyle series faces four shows that have each lost to it at least once before and have existed for an average of 15 years. Included among them is “Shark Tank,” which won here four years in a row before “Queer Eye” came along and ended its streak.

Indeed, only “Shark Tank” and “Queer Eye” have triumphed in this category since it splintered off from the catch-all Best Reality Program one in 2014. The three 2023 nominees attempting to become the third series to take this specific prize are “Antiques Roadshow,” “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” and “Love Is Blind.”

In order to determine whether any show has a realistic shot at blocking another “Queer Eye” win, let’s...

You would think that Jennifer Lane, showrunner for the long-running and beloved Netflix reality hit reboot “Queer Eye,” would be a little bit blase’ by now about this Emmy stuff. Both she and her show have, after all, won in the Best Structured Reality Program category a record five consecutive years going back to 2018, receiving 35 Emmy bids and 10 triumphs all told for its seven seasons. It earned six more noms this time, including once again in the reality program category as well as for its hosts known collectively as the Fab Five and a first-time honor for director Ali Moghadas. But it turns out that Lane isn’t indifferent to any of this at all. “It doesn’t ever get old, and I’m proud because it’s hard to get good (stuff) in reality,” she says. “People don’t realize it’s like we’re dancing backwards in high-heel shoes.

Designer Bobby Berk wanted his first book to extend beyond pages of home design eye candy, but instead offer practical style inspiration that could be put into practice.

As Queer Eye‘s resident home decor guru, Berk is always thinking of how design can be helpful and make his clients’ lives easier. So when it came to creating a book, he insisted that his book be more than just beautiful but also accessible to everyone.

“So, it comes out September 12th and the inspiration behind it was teaching people. I have always wanted to democratize design,” he told Showbiz Cheat Sheet about his new book, “Right at Home: How Good Design Is Good for the Mind.”

“So many times, for years people have been like, ‘Oh, please put out a design book, please put out a design book.’ And to be really frank, design books are expensive to make because...

Queer Eye resident designer Bobby Berk wishes that he would have embraced his career path instead of hiding it. He was ashamed that he didn’t go to college, especially since school was always important to him.

“Especially when we grew up in this day and age it was always college, college college!” he told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “And now with the debt crisis that we’re in with college, people are like, ‘Actually maybe not.'”

He’s often asked how he achieved success without a college degree. “You know, not everyone’s road to success is the exact same road as everybody else’s. And you can still achieve success even though your road is different,” he said.

Bobby Berk’s road to success didn’t mean college – and it was also tough

Berk shared his story as a queer kid growing up in a small Missouri town.

In 2003, five gay men with massive star power set breakout network Bravo ablaze. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy was a groundbreaking series not only for Bravo but it also changed the face and feel of reality television.

The magic behind the series was the playful and sometimes sarcastic exchanges between the five stars, Aka the “Fab Five” and how they related to their designated episodic “straight guy.” Interior design guru Thom Filicia said the spiciness in their banter is one big reason why the series worked so well.

‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’ set the tone for reality tv

“I think when we started in reality television, it was a little bit of the Wild West,” Filicia told Showbiz Cheat Sheet in 2021. “It wasn’t defined yet. It could be anything we wanted it to be. There was no network that was kind of giving us a bit...

The 2003 reality series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy set the Bravo network on fire and to celebrate its fabulousness, Bravo will replay a 20th anniversary marathon of the series on Thursday, July 13.

The Emmy Award-winning series launches a supersized marathon from 6 Am – 9 Pm Et/Pt on Thursday, July 13.

The all-day event will feature fan-favorite episodes from the beginning and culminate with its 10-year reunion special, according to Bravo.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy aired on Bravo from 2003-2007 and followed the original “Fab Five” – Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley, and Jai Rodriguez – as they performed a “make-better” on someone by upgrading their wardrobe, renovating their home, and offering lifestyle advice.

Not long after Bravo canceled Queer Eye for the Straight Guy in 2007, the show’s creators thought their showbiz careers were over. Despite masterminding one of the 21st century’s seminal reality TV hits, David Collins, Rob Eric and Michael Williams — the team behind Scout Productions, founded in 1994 as a scrappy indie film outfit based out of Boston — were struggling to find another hit now that they’d been rebranded as unscripted lifestyle guys. “In 2004, we won an Oscar for The Fog of War and an Emmy for Queer Eye,” Collins says. “Two years after that, we could not get arrested. There was a moment where I was like, ‘All right, am I going to become a barista?’ “

Today, Scout is one of the most prolific nonfiction development companies in Hollywood — all thanks to a call Collins received in 2016 from WME agent Nir Caspi looking to shop titles that would...

Bravo‘s Original Queer Eye for the Straight Guy star Jai Rodriguez recalled being coached to audition for the 2003 series and that they were paid even less than a first season original Real Housewife. But were they?

Jai Rodriguez was encouraged to lie about his age and background for the ‘Queer Eye’ audition

“I got an audition for Queer Eye. I sat across from a woman like this. And she asked me to take her on a romantic date as a divorced dad living on Long Island. What would be our New York City date? And I knew the city like the back of my hand,” he recounted on the Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast.

“So I gave her this flowery description of all the unique things we do and she loved that.

Over two decades, Bravo’s Top Chef has introduced viewers to nearly 300 food luminaries — making and breaking careers with what the culinary community has come to regard as the most prestigious (or at least the most taxing) cooking competition.

THR spent months speaking with dozens of the executives, producers, talent and chefs who’ve worked on the show over its 20-season run, and the result is a definitive oral history of the landmark reality competition. Previously untold anecdotes about that frantic first season and early days of “too much” reality drama and testimonials of its reshaping of food media — “Food Network should be paying Bravo residuals!” — and incalculable impact on American dining tell the story of how Top Chef elevated itself from mere genre TV to become an institution.

We’ve seen “Queer Eye” make over all types of heroes over the years — from ranchers to gay pastors. But we’ve never seen anything like what Season 7 is promising. In Netflix’s first trailer for the new season, which premieres on May 12, the Fab Five are going to be helping the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha.

“That’s right, we’re doing a frat house,” Bobby Berk says in the trailer.

It isn’t long before those cheery quips become screams of horror as the five enter this mold and fly-covered party house. It’s all part of Berk, Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown and Tan France’s new season in New Orleans. But it’s not going to be all sequins and Mardi Gras masks. In the tear-filled trailer, the team asks their heroes to confront everything from toxic masculinity to their own internalized homophobia.

The two qualms I have had with season two of Ru Paul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race have been the lack of cohesive themes that run through the episodes and the connection to the rest of the drag race ru-niverse! It seemed like last week the creative team working on this show focused on the former factor, as every performance was heavily influenced by the idea of money – leading to the first-ever joint winners being Chic-Li-Fay and Chakra Seven. In all honesty, I personally preferred the latter’s intensely fierce performance of “ M.I.L.F. ” by Fergie and so, if it was up to me, she would have been the sole winner of the episode! My biggest issue with this joint winner announcement however, would have to be the fact that when Chic was originally announced as the winner of the episode she did not protest as she promised earlier in the episode.

HBO’s “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus,” as well as Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” lead the early Emmy tally heading toward TV’s big night: All three series landed five trophies during the Creative Arts Emmys, dispensed on two consecutive nights over Labor Day weekend, and are in the hunt for more high-profile prizes Sept. 12 when the 74th annual Primetime Emmy ceremony gets underway on NBC.

Variety special “Adele: One Night Only” and docuseries “The Beatles: Get Back” also scored five trophies, though they won’t figure in the Primetime Emmy ceremony. Those wins, along with the Super Bowl Lvi Halftime Show’s victory for variety special (live), led some to quip that the Creative Arts Emmys felt more like the Grammys.

In the last episode of Ru Paul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race, we saw Poppy Love continue her domination of the competition as she claimed her second win in two episodes! I personally, thoroughly enjoyed her performance of “Show Me How to Burlesque” from the iconic movie Burlesque where they showcase their incredible dance-based skills! On the other end of the completion was surprising Thirsty Von Trap and Electra Owl with the latter revealing herself to be the singer-songwriter, Taylor Dayne! In the first episode of this season, I was a bit disappointed in the fact that there was little to no theme that tied together each of the separate performances. There was some improvement last week when the idea of “dance” was used with the queens showing their own dance skills (specifically the aforementioned Poppy Love and Chic-Fi-Lay) but I did think that this theme was extremely...

A version of this story about “Queer Eye” creator David Collins first appeared in the Down to the Wire: Comedy issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.

Since debuting on Netflix in 2018, “Queer Eye” has won the Emmy for Outstanding Structured Reality Series four times in a row. Now the show — in which the Fab Five travel the country helping people with grooming, fashion, cooking, home decor and life coaching — could make Emmy history. If “Queer Eye” wins this year for Season 6, it will set a new record for the most consecutive triumphs in that category, breaking its current tie with ABC’s “Shark Tank.”

For David Collins, who created the “make better” reality series with his company, Scout Productions, the milestone is “nothing short of mind-blowing.”

“This little gay boy from Cincinnati, Ohio, in a million years, never thought that this was possible,” he said, gesturing to himself. “I grew...

As always, Ryan Seacrest is handling awkward situations like a pro. The Live With Kelly and Ryan host had to think fast when he walked onto the stage with his zipper down Aug. 2. His solution? Make sure the audience is laughing with him, not at him. "By the way," Ryan said as he zipped up his pants and hid his boxers, "my fly is down." Indeed, it was. Guest co-host Carson Kressley, who's filling in for Kelly Ripa while she's on vacation, was more than happy to go along with the joke, adding, "What? I guess you're just happy to see me!" Despite the mishap, the former Queer Eye for the Straight Guy fashion expert commended Ryan...

Who doesn't love the Fab 5?! The iconic members of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy reunited on E!'s Reunion Road Trip to celebrate Jai Rodriguez's 40th birthday—and give him a stunning makeover of his own! Co-stars Carson Kressley, Ted Allen, Thom Filicia and Kyan Douglas reminisced on the lasting impact of their hit Bravo series that ran from 2003 to 2007. After five seasons and 100 episodes, the Fab Five became reality TV icons, leading to the Netflix reboot of Queer Eye in 2018.

Queer Eye producer David Collins didn’t get déja vu when he brought the show back on Netflix. Instead, he couldn’t stop thinking about how much has changed since the Bravo version of the show launched in 2003 and became a sensation.
