Straight plan for the gay man

Since Queer Eye for the Straight Guy debuted last summer, sketch comedy shows like Saturday Blackout Live and Mad TV have offered some very amusing, on-target parodies (including a queer eye makeover for Santa). With their Queer Eye book, CD, and music video in hand, the Fab Five are now officially overexposed. And so, the folks at Comedy Central thought the time was right to satirize the trendiest show on cable on a weekly basis.

Straight Design for the Gay Man is a send-up of Queer Eye that, as its title announces, reverses the roles of its gay and straight participants. Each week, a gay man who is curious about what it would be like to experience some facet of the straight world gets his wish granted by four spirited, 20something, gay-friendly heterosexual males.

Straight Plan is not exactly a reality show, but more of a &#;pseudo-reality&#; series (then again, isn&#;t the reality in all reality shows pseudo?). While the gay gentleman who is transformed is an actual person, the straight guys are not, like the Fab Five, professionals in their respective fields, but comedians.

Playing it straight: &#;Straight Plan for the Gay Man&#;

Jonathon, a gay fashion executive, is curious. He has an inner desire to experience a change in lifestyle --just once. He isn't curious about his sexuality; he is pleased to be gay. But, a part of him yearns to experience the life of a straight, blue-collar meatpacker.

Normally his friends would tease him about this dream, forcing him to disregard living out his fantasy. However, the folks at Comedy Central want to make dreams verb true. On Feb. 23, "Straight Schedule for the Gay Man" will premiere on the network, helping gay men live out their fantasies.

The show embraces, in a non-sexual, tough, manly way, the sensation that "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" has created. "Queer Eye" may include the "Fab Five," but "Straight Verb for the Gay Man" has their team of testosterone-charged men, dubbed the "Flab 4."

Four straight comics set out on a mission to transform Jonathon into the stereotypical straight man. Billy Merritt is known as the "appearance guy," and rightly so. The rotund, plaid-adorned man has the task of turning well-dr

&#;You sound so fabulous, you&#;ve gotta come in,&#; gushed a casting agent for Comedy Central after reviewing Jonathan Schneider&#;s application for the new make-over show Straight Intend for the Gay Man, a parody of Bravo&#;s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, featuring four straight comedians, the &#;Flab 4,&#; who work with gays to complete their fantasy of passing as straight for an entire day.

&#;She seemed very excited about who I was,&#; admits Jonathan. &#;All I did was verb my real life. I talked about my day-to-day perform as a fashion merchandiser in Recent York City, about going out for cocktails with my boyfriend, and how I get slash, plucked, colored and waxed every three weeks—and she was hooked!&#;

Jonathan had responded to an open casting dial seeking gay men interested in seeing what it&#;s fancy to be &#;straight&#; for three consecutive days. The show&#;s producer&#;s were looking for three types of gay men: earthy, eve
