Did most of the original "Queer Eyes" more or less disappear after the show ended?

or have any of them had lasting success and fame?

Ted Allen has been constantly employed as the host of "Chopped"

Kyan Douglas, arguably the most attractive of them, is the only one who totally fell off the map.

[quote]Kyan Douglas, arguably the most attractive of them,

I don't think there's any argument about it.

R3 Well some might have preferred then-twink Jai Rodriguez, whose career since has involved getting naked a lot.

Carson is pretty active - he and Tom had a show on Bravo when Bravo was trying to become the gayer HGTV>

Carson was genuinely funny. I think it was America's first experience of that kind of gay humor.

Kyan tried to continue his TV career but it didn't work out and he went on a spiritual trip to the Himalayas or somewhere like that. Carson is a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race, and still funny, not sure what he did in between. Ted Allen is on Chopped as mentioned. Thom kept running his interior design business which I've heard is successful.

Carson was a regular TV guest for all the years before RPDR, as many of the others still are. It looks like Kyan is a regular contributor to Rachael Ray’s talk show. He looks very different now.

I always thought Thom and Jay were the hottest, and that's certainly true now. Kyan looked like your average WeHo trash, although he looks good now for his age.

Carson looks like he's quite the client of Dr. Botox-and-Fillers. Ewww.

Hairstylists can make money anywhere without being famehwores. Maybe that why Kyan didn’t keep working the fame angle.

Hairstylists make almost nothing.

No he didn't. He was genuinely very handsome.

[quote]although he looks good now for his age.

He looks like shit now.

I stood in a long line for them to sign their book at the height of the show’s popularity. There was a huge crowd.

Three of them were very nice and grateful: Carson, Ted, Thom

Two of them were total diva assholes: Kyan, the Culture Vulture Guy

I’m not surprised that Carson, Ted, and Thom still have successful careers.

R11, not true. A good colorist with a steady business can easily gross $250,000 a year.

Yeah I am shocked how much hairstylists can make - at least in NYC.. Maybe not Sport Cuts in Texas - but at a salon in a major city, he could make a good living,

Carson and Thom just recently did a show on Bravo or some cable network. Not sure if it's still on or got cancelled, though.

Celeb hair stylists make 6 figures.

Thom hit me up on Grinder few yrs back. I live in High Point NC. He was in town for Furniture Market. I don't at all find him to be attractive.

by Anonymousreply 18October 24, 2019 1:42 AM

We always thought that Thom was the most talented and Kyan the least, but the best looking. We met Jai on a gay cruise a few years back and he couldn’t have been nicer. I remember our excitement for the show and wish these 4 guys the best. They were groundbreaking for the time.

When did Kyan start morphing into Eddie Vedder?
