Karamo Brown
is taking his cultural expertise from Queer Eye to
daytime television.
Karamo has
landed his own syndicated talk show from NBCUniversal, and the new series has
already been sold in 90% of U.S. markets.
This new talk
show, aptly titled Karamo, is slated to premiere on September 29
across the country. According to a report from Deadline, Karamo’s syndicated daytime talk show will
air on top TV markets through local stations like KTLA Los Angeles, WPIX New
York, WATL Atlanta, WLVI Boston, WJW Cleveland, WPHL Philadelphia, WCIU
Chicago, and WSVN Miami, to name a few.
On
Instagram, Karamo celebrated this remarkable achievement. “My dream
since a child has been to help people. I’m doing it with Queer
Eye & now I’ll be doing it 5 days a week!” he wrote in a post
where he announced the new show on social media. Many of Karamo’s Queer
Eye costars shared the announcement and congratulated him.
In a
subsequent Instagram post, Karamo looked back on his overall trajectory to get
here. The Queer Eye star wrote:
“I was a poor
gay black boy who had so many dreams but didn’t know if it was possible… I was
broke, scared, alone… but I never gave up on myself and it’s happening! Don’t
give up on yourself because your dream will come true too! The life you deserve
is possible! I promise you. And I’ll be here to help you through those hard
moments 5 days a week on @karamoshow starting Sep 19 2022.”
Karamo is the
latest LGBTQ+ celebrity to land his own daytime talk show. Other LGBTQ+
personalities who have had their own daytime talk shows over the years
include Ellen DeGeneres (The Ellen DeGeneres Show),
RuPaul Charles (RuPaul), Rosie O’Donnell (The Rosie O’Donnell Show),
and Anderson Cooper (Anderson Live). Otherwise, Sara Gilbert was a part
of The Talk for almost a decade, Andy Cohen was a recurring
guest host on Live With Kelly, and O’Donnell had a very infamous
run on The View. Currently, Ross Mathews appears
as the co-host of The Drew Barrymore Show.
