The Naked Truth Has Two Pretend Gays (Zero Actual Gays)
Added 2021-06-11 02:34:19 +0000 UTC“Woman Gets Plastered, Star Gets Even” (January 23, 1997)
There was a time when two different networks were trying to push Téa Leoni as a sitcom star. The Naked Truth’s three seasons spanned ABC and NBC and while it didn’t launch her to TV success at this point in her career, Glen and Drew share a love of all things Téa with our guest, comedian H. Alan Scott. This episode is one of the more forgettable gay sitcom episodes sure, but there’s something to learn from the sitcoms that manage to make LGBT thems seem boring and banal. Right?
Listen to H. Alan’s podcast, You’re Making It Worse.
Watch Drew’s video compilation of every LGBT joke ever on the history of The Simpsons.

I also saw an episode of Cheers recently where Sam and Woody kiss that I thought you could use for an excuse just to talk about Cheers.
