Brown has starred on Queer Eye as the show’s ‘Culture and Lifestyle’ expert since 2018, when the series was revived for Netflix with an all-new cast.
Queer Eye originally ran on the Bravo network between 2003-2007 for five seasons.
Netflix’s current iteration starring Brown has surpassed the original with its six seasons. Brown and his co-stars were even given their own special, allowing the crew to visit Japan.
Brown cites the talk show gig as a childhood dream of his. He has been inspired by Sally Jessy Raphael, Phil Donahue, and Maury Povich alike. Povich would eventually become a collaborator of Brown’s.
“As a Black, gay man of first-generation immigrants, opportunities for my goals seemed impossible so I want to thank everyone involved for believing in me and trusting me to explore all the highs and lows of life and celebrate with their audiences,” said Brown in a statement.
