Queer Eye Cast Answer the Web's Most Searched Questions

[All] Hey, we're the fab five from Netflix's Queer Eye.

And we're doing the Wired auto complete interview.

And we're doing the Wired auto compute...

Oh my god!

I knew it! I got it.

I got it.

How Queer Eye

was cast.

We all auditioned, it was--

Come on, do Bobby's Hunger Games.

Yeah, I was like it's kind of like

American Idol meets Hunger Games.

They put us all in a room together,

we fought it out, and we won.

[Antoni] Queer Eye, how does it work?

Beats us, honey.

That is a loaded question.

A little wild, wild west-ish in terms of production.

We kind of figure it out as we go.

After the first day of discovery

when we meet our respective heroes.

We all sort of get together with

our lovely executive producers and also

our story producers for each episode,

and we just kind of hash it out and we figure it out.

How old are the Queer Eye guys?

35.

35.

37.

31.

30...

Eight.

How do the Queer Eye

guys know each other?

Not very well.

We know each other from the From the TV show we're on.

first question, from when we were cast.

Which has been two years now,

so we've known each other for two years.

Wow.

Wow.

Ew, David.

How much does Queer Eye spend on each person?

Talking about money is tacky.

[Bobby] Yeah.

Even we don't know that answer.

[All] Yeah.

Does Queer Eye pay for everything?

[All] Yes.

Yeah, we don't make our heroes pay for that.

They get everything for free.

[Antoni] Do Queer Eye keep the furniture?

[All] Yes.

I would never give people

all that cool stuff. Can you imagine?

If we took it all away.

If Tom Jackson got--

Some shows do.

If Tom Jackson got back that armchair.

We're Queer Eye Kiki.

Yeah we do.

Queer Eye Kiki, we Kiki, we Kiki all the time.

Kiki's having a good time, a laugh.

Do Queer Eye guys get along?

No, we honestly don't. Not at all.

We cannot stand each other.

Depends on the day.

Do Queer Eye keep in touch?

Not at all.

With our heroes, yes.

And each other.

But also, honest to god, we really do get along.

The only thing that we ever really will

come to blows over is the temperature.

Temperature.

Oh my gosh. Temperature of a room.

Or if one of us won't stop talking.

Temperature will ruin the fab five.

This hoe likes it way too cold.

Yeah.

Put on a jacket.

That's not untrue.

How to pronounce Tan France.

Oh my gosh, actually this is perfectly appropriate

because I joined Antoni on a show a couple of nights ago

where Andy Cohen kept pronouncing it Tarn.

Tarn.

Tarn.

Tarn.

Just say the letters T-A-N.

Yeah!

I think people assume that because I have an accent

that they should, yeah they should say--

Tarn. Yeah, Tarn.

Hello Tarn.

Yeah but you don't have to say it in my accent,

please just say it in your accent.

It's just Tan.

Is Tan France naturally gray?

Actually let me field this question.

It would be impossible for him to have salt and pepper,

bleached and toned that well.

There's no way you can artificially

make something that perfect.

And also, it wouldn't be possible to dye my beard,

and maintain how short my hair is, it wouldn't be possible.

I'm just gonna pull the next one off

because it ties into it.

How to get Tan France hair.

What's the hairline that you use?

He has a new YouTube channel and you gotta go to it.

And I do a full unedited,

a completely unedited version online,

so YouTube, Tan France, it's there.

His robe falls off.

This is all placement for all our personal endeavors,

I love where this is going.

[Bobby] Tan France, how to dress.

It should just be like Tan France

how to dress French tuck.

[laughing]

French tuck.

You take a shirt, you tuck it in a little bit,

and then you roll up your sleeves and voila,

you can dress like Tan France.

Find something floral.

[Bobby] Where is Tan France from Queer Eye from?

He is from--

Dancaster.

Doncaster.

Doncaster.

I have told you so many times, it's not Dancaster,

it's Doncaster. It's dirty Donny.

So it's Don, Tan, Tan, Don, Don, Dan.

Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England.

Alright.

You know me.

Next.

Antoni Porowski.

Who does Antoni Porowski look like?

John Mayer.

Oh my god!

John Mayer, Franco.

I get Christian Bale a lot.

I think we have the same mouth.

[Jonathan] Does Antoni from Queer Eye have a partner?

Yes, next question.

[Karamo] Boom.

You need help baby?

No!

You need help.

Does Antoni from Queer Eye

have a huge... A brother, brother.

They're gonna say brother.

I'm scared, you guys.

[Karamo] A cookbook.

He should. Yes, Antoni in the kitchen.

Can I just tell you, this summer when we were in Kansas,

he was doing the cookbook and I was just so proud.

You were making some really amazing...

I got to eat so many wicked meals over the summer.

What does Antoni Porowski do for a living?

He's keeping me safe, usually.

It doesn't pay that well,

I'm hoping that he's gonna get a raise some day.

He is a celebrity, he's a--

He's a restaurateur.

Let me tell you what his future occupation's gonna be.

Can I tell them?

Antoni is going to win an Academy Award,

trust and believe, for best supporting actor.

He is the most amazing actor.

You talk about go looking at old YouTube clips of me,

look at his old YouTube acting clips.

This is like honestly the nicest

final question I've ever--

If it asks if you two are dating I'm gonna hit you,

what is it?

This one time, Antoni and I were on a photo shoot,

and he told me that he had something

really important to tell me.

And the look on his face, I thought he was gonna

tell me that he was in love with me.

And so before he told me that, I said,

Honey, I think we're much better friends,

I just I think that we're such good friends.

And this was my face.

Yeah, he couldn't believe it.

No I'm sorry, let's replicate a face.

[Karamo] Yes, that's the face.

I won't say what I said next, but here's the question.

Are Jonathan and Antoni from Queer Eye dating?

Oh!

That's really cute.

That is really cute.

I think the reason they ask is because

you and you, both, insist on holding my hand

in an interlaced fashion.

You need to write checks that you cannot cash.

I am willing to cash those checks.

You won't allow me.

Turn around, Tan.

I am so sick of all of you guys,

you know with your beautiful bodies,

threatening to lay with me with your tops off

and it never happens.

Throw it!

Bobby Berk.

Where did Bobby Berk go to college?

Bobby Berk is a true American success story because...

He, with literally a sixth grade education,

and negative 17 cents.

[Tan] He still don't know how to read, though.

And negative 17 cents in his pocket.

[Karamo] He made it happen!

He went to Jefferson City, he said,

You know what, I'm gonna redo this capital,

and then I'm moving to New York City.

Yeah I didn't graduate high school.

But did you get a GED?

No, no, I did not.

My word, Bobbers.

Why didn't you graduate high school?

Because I left home at 15 and I didn't have the money to--

Oh my god, you guys, you guys.

I have a really good idea that could honest to god,

like probably get you like 17 houses

and it could make all of us like scripted writers.

We reboot the one where Adam Sandler goes back to school,

and you could go back to school,

we could get your high school diploma,

remember like Happy Gil... Or no, Happy Madison.

Billy Madison!

Let's remake Billy Madison!

[Karamo] What band was Bobby Berk in?

It was called His Boys.

His Boys, I knew this.

It was a Christian band, right?

His voice?

[Karamo] Boys.

With a capital H.

As in,

Jesus'.

That guy up there.

Jesus, yeah.

Because he worked through us.

Yes.

And when we sang it was channeling Jesus.

[Karamo] Where did Bobby Berk grow up?

Missouri.

Missouri.

Little bitty town in Missouri.

[Karamo] Where does Bobby Berk live?

Wait I have the address. Google it.

Clearly somebody put his address out.

He's a Los Angeles.

LA!

Is Bobby Berk as gorgeous in real life as he is on TV?

Yes.

[Karamo] Is Bobby Berk adopted?

Yes, I am adopted.

Gorgeous.

Du du du du du du.

Bobby Berk, that's all you need to know.

Jonathan Van Ness.

How much does a Jonathan Van Ness haircut cost?

The thing is that I only determine

my prices off consultation, you know what I mean?

It depends on how much of a pain in the ass you're gonna be.

How much would you...

So you would charge me $10,000.

I'm free.

Okay.

Wait, I actually am free.

Well, I'm a nice person.

[laughing]

And he will make you pay for it later.

What happened...

What happened to Jonathan Van Ness?

Honestly it's a good question.

Ew!

[laughing]

No honestly--

You vile queen.

No, I ask myself that all the time.

It's like whatever happened to baby Jane?

Whatever happened to baby Jonathan?

I get it, it's a lot.

What happened to him?

I get it.

What's not happening?

I'm gay, I'm angry, I'm on way to my Sao Pau.

It's not quite happening yet, it's not clicking,

I want it to click.

Booked and busy.

Welcome, JVN.

What's next?

[Tan] Is Jonathan Van Ness single?

Yes.

Next question.

And so ready to mingle.

Jonathan Van Ness' birthday.

My birthday's on March 28th,

which is also Miss Gaga's birthday,

and also, my mommy's is the day after.

[All] Aww.

She was very pissed off because--

Yeah because like she never had a birthday again.

I was three weeks late and she was like

if you're this late why don't you just stay one more day,

we can share a birthday, and then I didn't.

Aww.

What a symbol.

I know.

And three of us have a birthday

within a month of each other.

Really cute.

Does Jonathan Van Ness have siblings?

Yes he does.

I do.

I'm the youngest of four.

We are all the youngest.

We are all the youngest. That's a tidbit.

We are all the youngest.

That is really cute.

Wait, Karamo, youngest of three?

Jonathan, youngest of four.

Bobby, youngest of three?

Two.

Antoni is the young...

I'm the youngest of three.

Tan is the youngest of 37.

[laughing]

They had a lot of kids. Brown people.

Karamo Brown.

Is gorgeous.

[Antoni] Who is Karamo Brown?

[laughing]

Hold on, can I tell you all something?

When I was leaving social work and psychotherapy

I did this video to get like the attention of agents

in my friend's garage, where I was like,

Who is Karamo Brown?

[Tan] It was the worst thing ever! Oh no!

I don't know how to take it down.

Should I report it?

It won't go down.

Oh my god, you've gotta text the source.

That's one of a few YouTube videos

that you definitely wanna Google.

Everyone was like, If you want an agent

you have to tell people who you are.

And I was like, Well how do you do that?

And they were like, Say who is Karamo Brown?

Wait wait, what was your answer?

He's fashion.

I'm fashion.

No I'm joking.

I don't know.

In lieu of that previous one,

who is Karamo Brown's partner?

It's my baby daddy,

[Bobby] his name is Ian Jordan. Ian!

When you say baby daddy it sounds like

you give birth to your children.

I actually started calling him my baby daddy

because I feel that it was so uncomfortable

for me as a gay man calling another man,

who I'm in a long term relationship with,

my boyfriend, at our age.

So I call him my baby daddy because I hate the fact...

I mean now we have, we're engaged, we're gonna get married.

But we gotta remember,

seven years ago this was not an option.

But I like that too because baby daddy,

like you guys are in the trenches of this parenthood thing,

raising these children together.

It's only been seven years.

What does Karamo Brown do?

What does he not do?

Thank you.

Karamo Brown is a culture expert and social worker.

He is a father, he is a partner, he is a damn good listener.

He does a lot.

He's also very understanding.

He is a pre-politician.

Yes.

He is a global ambassador, unofficially, of Coca Cola.

I do like a lot of Coca Cola.

And a lover of all things pizza.

Antoni, good job.

How old is Karamo Brown?

[Antoni] How old is Karamo Brown's son?

Christian turned 19, so I have a 22 and a 19 year old.

[Antoni] Where did Karamo Brown go to high school?

I went to Parkland, Marjory Stoneman Douglas,

where it's unfortunately famous now

for the mass shooting that happened on February 14th.

But what I do love is that that school

turned me into an activist and it has

turned all these young people into an activist.

And comprehensive gun legislation is happening,

because this generation is saying enough is enough,

and they are going to make sure that no other child

ever has to fear going to school.

What did I say, activist and pre-politician.

Boom!

Watch your head, Tan, honey.

Three, two, one.

[All] This was the five five...

[laughing]

Thank you so much for listening to our banter.

Hope you learned some more stuff about us

that you did not know.
