Uh, what? What is this show? I don’t even mean the usual questions, like who is this show for or who would want a show like this or what kind of world do we live in where this show is considered entertainment and we are thought to be people interested in such a thing. I mean WHAT IS THIS SHOW EVEN ABOUT? Based on this trailer, it is going to be a half hour of Johnny Weir figure skating through a commercial for Target and dropping super-gay bon mots taken from the Queer Eye cutting room floor circa 2003. My guess is that Christian Siriano will make a guest appearance during sweeps week and they’ll have a Hot Mess Off. “You are the hottest mess, goodnight.” I do love the foley artist “paparazzi sound effects” at the end. Nothing says “this show is going to be very high quality, extremely intelligent, and incredibly interesting” like overdubbed foley artist paparazzi sound effects. (Thanks for the tip, Richard.)

  1. Someone saw Bruno and said, “Not gay enough”.

  2. I’m sure this show will be about combatting gay stereotypes.

  3. hopefully they will recast whatever this show is with bobby trendy

  4. I’m gay but this kind of queer shit scares the bejesus out of me!

  5. (more from the Queer Eye junk pile) Triple lutz?? More like triple slutz!

  6. I think the time has come to re-define phrases such as “TV Show”, “Entertainment” and even “What This Is About”.
    Some kind of warping of reality is surely required to correctly incorparate this.

  7. It’s about Johnny Weir. Duh.

  8. can we make “Be Good, Johnny Weir” the new “Relax, Technojeremy?”

  9. When I entered this, I’m entirely not sure what I expected. It wasn’t this. Hope abounds, people. Especially in sad, lonely women who use Google.

  10. On the one hand I really don’t care about figure skating, and on the same hand this show looks terrible, and again on that same hand Johnny Weir seems to be something of a ridiculous person, but on the OTHER hand, finally, if given the opportunity, I would eat nothing but Johnny Weir three meals a day, so I’m going to allow this.

    What? Why did it get so quiet in here?

  11. I like how it’s on Sundance Channel.

    Let him be as gay as he wants, in my opinion. He’s a figure skater, why bother trying to combate stereotypes. He performed a skating tribute to Poker Face last year, fer christ’s sake.

  12. When I’m ok, I’m ok. But when I’m marginally disappointing, I’m marginally AWESOME!

  13. Remember how in the 00s newspapers of record published actual stories speculating on Johnny Weir’s sexuality? Oh, naughts.

  14. “When I’m good, I’m good. But when I’m bad, I’m better.” What? This guy know what I’m talking about:

  15. I’m So Hard

  16. Andy Cohen just came…

  17. I watched the men’s Nationals yesterday on NBC. Johnny came in third, but his outfit came in first in my book. The bottom line is NBC is airing quality programming around the clock.

    • His freeskate program was entitled “Fallen Angel,” and the announcers informed us that it was “based on the last year of Johnny Weir’s life.” I think that explains a lot.

  18. Can a bon mot really be anything but super-gay?

  19. “… it is going to be a half hour of Johnny Weir figure skating through a commercial for Target and dropping super-gay bon mots taken from the Queer Eye cutting room floor circa 2003.”

    Or from Mae West circa 1940. “Last night I shot an elephant in my pajamas!” *triple axle*

  20. At the end, why does he dance a sun dance in front of the sun while dressed as the sun? Oh, I see, it’s on the Sundance Channel. Nevermind.
