Fast forward to years later, and now you’ve been named on that prestigious list. I read an article about how you were a closeted high school kid who would discretely read The Out Magazine 100. That’s when I was like, Okay, I need that. RuPaul’s on VHI one, right after Pop Up video at 11 a.m., or Ross Matthews’, who was ‘Gwyneth Paltrow’s gay’ and then went on to be on David Letterman and has etched out a substantial career in television.Īnd another example is Queer Eye for the Straight Guy - these were strong examples of gay men on TV making it work, being paid for it, and getting that adoration. I knew I wanted to be where I was seen and heard and where people would get me, you know? I’m fortunate that there were men on TV who I could look at and say, oh, this person figured it out. I accepted early on that my life would not be fulfilled in my small town in Louisiana. I think it’s all relative, and any success I’m experiencing began with acceptance. So how do you get from there – to Beverly Hills? You came from a small, Southern town in Louisiana. And now here you are co-hosting on E and the Today Show with Hoda - That’s Crazy! You began on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and then parlayed that into the show Beverly Hills Nannies on ABC. But I just learned how to get to a place where I accept that I’m not perfect, keep it moving, and laugh at myself. And God knows I’ve messed up a thousand times on my show. You know, there were times early in” Daily Pop” when I beat myself up, and so would Twitter. No, “Can I do that all over again because I said someone’s name wrong?” You have to accept that there will be mistakes and keep it moving. I’m fortunate that my shows are live it’s a blessing and a curse because you do it once – you get in, you get out. You know, it’s not as crazy as you would think.
