Talk Show Greets LGBT Viewers with 'Hey Qween!'
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 1 MIN.
If you want to laugh, then "Hey Qween!" is going to be your new favorite show.
Enough of "Good Morning, America" and other boring talk shows. You want something out of the ordinary, and that's what "Hey Qween!" is for. Hosted by comedian Jonny McGovern, it's a gay talk show filled with drag queens, hot topics and most of all, laughs.
McGovern is aided by his sidekick, drag queen Lady Red Couture. The duo interviews LGBT guests who come on the show, such as Branum, Candis Cayne, Mitch Vaughn, Jake Shears, Michelle Visage and more. Who knows - maybe Caitlyn Jenner will be on the show.
McGovern also has quite the impressive rap sheet. He has been featured on LOGO's "Big Gay Sketch Show" for three seasons and has done music videos as the character "The Gay Pimp." He has also starred on Comedy Central's "Out On The Edge" with Alan Cumming and multiple VH1 and MTV specials such as "Totally Gayer" and "My Coolest Years." As if that wasn't enough, he made an appearance on Tru TV's "Smoking Gun" series and was a correspondent for the final season of the "Ricki Lake Show." Gayest Of All Time, his long running podcast, will celebrate its 10th anniversary next fall.
