CNN.com: Leno to get 'Queer Eye' makeover
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Is a "Queer Eye" plus Jay Leno's big chin the right look for good ratings? Television network NBC thinks so.

With new show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" having become a smash hit for the Bravo cable TV channel, Bravo parent NBC said Monday it will bring the show's "Fab Five" makeover artists onto "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" for a special "make-better" session with show host Leno.

1. Damn...they're headed right for the shark tank...
I think this is test to see if this will fly on network TV. Hint: it won't - leave it on Bravo...

2. Is there a plastic surgeon on the "team"???
Maybe someone could do something about his poor distorted face.. His chin has gotten worse over the years, and yes it is a medical condition that he has.. forgot the name right now, and am too lazy to google it :)

7. never mind that - is that a lobotomist?
I've never, ever found the man even remotely funny.

And I've got a very good sense of humor!

6. Perhaps Jai the Culture Vulture can help him out
It's painful to watch the humor-impaired try to make jokes.

9. Celebrity makeovers do not "work"
they may be good for a few laughs, but the fact that what keeps MOST people from a makeover is ...M O N E Y ...and the celebs can get a "makeover" any ole time they want..

Oprah did an apartment makeover once for a young woman, and they much have spent 100,000.00 on her total makeover for her place.. Well excuse me...but whoopdeedoo, I could do the same for MYSELF if I had the money..

Same goes for the personal makeovers... BFD he got a haircut, a facial and a manicure.. Then off the the clothier to spend a couple of thousand bucks on some pricey duds..

These are not makeovers...they are cash infusions and some advice :)

13. The advice is the value-added part.
They could drop two grand on clothes and still look like shit--money doesn't impart good taste. Like they say about the TV repairman, "You don't pay him to smack the TV, you pay him to know where to smack the TV."

11. Now THAT would be funny!
The look on Colin's face when Carson plunged his hand down the front of his pants... I'd pay to see that!

16. I want them to stick to ordinary folks
the show is just about perfect the way it is, I hope they don't fuck with it. It's the only show I actually will go turn the TV on for!

Carson on seeing a mirror on the headboard of a bed: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, am I big or am I small?"
