Where’s the Original Fab Five Now?
Things keep improving, especially for the stars of Queer Eye. On July 15, 2003 — 20 years ago now — the Queer Eye franchise debuted with Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, a Bravo makeover show with a totally different Fab Five than the gang you see in the Netflix reboot.
Those five original stars were “Food and Wine Connoisseur” Ted Allen, “Grooming Guru” Kyan Douglas, “Design Doctor” Thom Filicia, “Fashion Savant” Carson Kressley, and “Culture Vulture” Jai Rodriguez.
That Bravo show — which eventually morphed into Queer Eye as the show expanded its scope beyond cis-het male subjects — aired five seasons and 100 episodes until its finale on October 30, 2007. Of course, the first Fab Five didn’t just stop there. See what they’ve been up to in the photo gallery below.
