Anyone know the story (if there is one), behind the gay panel on this show? Anyone watch it? I like it a lot, but find it curious that the entire panel is gay.

I'm bumping this, because I can't believe that no one knows the backstory or doesn't have a comment to make about it.

I would, if someone else had started the thread.

Funny you brought it up. I had never seen this show until about a month ago. It was playing at the bar, and the bartender and I started talking about the panel, and we suddenly figured out they were all gay. Don't know if it's on purpose or a coincidence, though.

Yes. They are all gay F list celebrities. Billy used to be a baseball player and then he came out. Frank De Capro has a satellite radio dish show and is a local LA gay personality.. and the comedian ( Suzanne) has been around. I don't know where they got Jermaine. They are all very nice.

Do they make 'em hotter than Billy Bean?

Sad to say that Billy doesn't look like that no more. He is a sweet man that is doing very well selling real estate in Miami.

He SURE does look like that! He's on the I'VE GOT A SECRET panel. He's the one on the far right.

Honey.. I saw the man in person every day of the filming of that show.. including wrap party. Lots of makeup and photoshop. And he would be the first to joke about it.

What I like about the show, is that they managed to keep the appeal of the original, intact. The panel is very nice; and, a lot of fun.

I was at a fundraiser a few years ago in which a date with Billy Bean was one of the prizes. Had I only known, Dollypop, I could've tossed in a bid for you.

DAME - I worked on this show too.

Billy looks great. :)

Oh he looks great. But he does not look like that anymore. He just doesn't. But he is very handsome and sweet. Where you there the day some dog had kicked him in the eye and it ballooned up?

No, but I was there when we did the dog hair bikini fashion show and the damn Chow we had to ditch at the last second almost bit ME! Also held the water-skiing squirrel... boy we had a few animals on that show, didn't we? What were you doing there?

[DAME]

I handle the director. I wasn't there for anything involving animals. Suposively the dog incident happened over the weekend and thats why he had a black eye. Where you there when Martha Wash was on?

Suposively?

Billy looked pretty good when I spotted him shopping, so I don't think it's sad he doesn't look exactly the same as he did 15 years ago. Who does?!?

DBillyP, No one is saying he isn't a very handsome man.

Nope. Once it's cast I'm done. Still waiting for an invite to the wrap party though! HA
