Summary

Jai Rodriguez steps back Behind The Rope. The man originally known to the masses, or at least us Bravo die hards, as the original “Culture Vulture” returns to mention it all. Jai fills us in on all that he has been up to since the last time he was here - Bros, Fire Island, Uncoupled and More. Jai chats about his early days in New York City nightlife, starring on Broadway at a young age in Rent and the challenges he faced as a gay, non-white man trying to break into an industry that was far less inclusive than it is today. Jai chats the original Queer Eye, early days of Bravo, Real Housewives, current Netflix Queer Eye, cast mates and what the original Fab Five have in store for the upcoming 20th anniversary. Of course, there are also his many series regular and guest appearances on Malibu Country - shout out Heather Dubrow, Nip/Tuck - shout out Ryan Murphy, Grey’s Anatomy - shout out Shonda Rhimes and many more. @jairodriguez @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NEBULA9 VODKA - nebula9vodka.com (Use Promo Code VELVET For 10% Off Your Order) BRILLIANT EARTH - brilliantearth.com (Check Out All Of Their Beautiful Pieces) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
