Logo has
commissioned a six-episode reality series starring out
writer-comedian Ant, who can currently be seen as the host
of VH1's Celebrity Fit Club. Cameras will follow
the irreverent comedian as he crisscrosses America
looking for signs of gay life in rural and
small-town communities.
"I'm going to throw a dart at a map of
America, and wherever it lands, I'm going to
seek out the gays in that town," said Ant in a
statement. "I hope my bad aim and lazy eye
don't keep me out of the South."
Tentatively
titled U.S. of Ant, the series hopes to
gain insight into what it really means to be gay in
small-town America, stated Eileen Opatut, senior
vice president of Original Programming for Logo.
"Ant is engaging, quick-witted, and fearless.
He's the kind of person who can talk to
anyone, gay or straight, and have them open up to
him." (Advocate.com)
