Queer As Folk Reunion EXCLUSIVE

I was asked to host a special luncheon of the Queer As Folk reunion DVD coming out in November. It was a great honor as I was such a HUGE fan of the show. Here are the EXCLUSIVE behind the scenes, behind the scenes, stuff that I love bringing to you, my little colony.

Wasn't it fun! I love and adore Sharon Gless. I want her to move in with me and be my roommate. OMG, I totally forgot to put my friend, Peter Paige, who played Emmitt on the series, in the credits...SORRY Peter!

LUCIANO's MYSPACE PAGE

In other news. Did you all see the last semi-final of LAST COMIC STANDING? It was SOOOO funny! I really am proud of myself for the comedians we picked. This season is going to be a WINNER.

So here is the question I pose today. If you liked the behind the scenes stuff you just saw above, and want me to do it for Last Comic Standing, please POST BELOW and let me know your thoughts.

And I also need a bit of the colony's help and support. Right now the show is neck and neck with So You Think You Can Dance...I would love our show to pull ahead in the ratings...So if you could all tell your friends to watch it, since your friend (me) is on it, it would be huge. Word of mouth is going to put us over the top.

Last Comic Standing airs Weds nights 9/8c. Don't forget, to post below what you'd like to see me do behind the scenes on LAST COMIC and I will use the colony's suggestions.

Happy Friday everyone. I leave for Las Vegas today and will return late Sunday night. So if I can't get a post up, don't worry, I'll be back on Monday...but check back, as you know I love suprises (hint hint).



PLEASE COMMENT below. I do read them all and may respond to yours.

Love the "behind the scenes" stuff! I would like to see a day, from begining to end, of what it is like to be you on LCS. Starting with you going into work, getting make up, show prep, the actual show, wrap up and then some comments on the way home. I think the Colony would love to see all that! Muah!

OMG, a gift from Ant!! And a HOT gift it is..holy gravy, he's got like a 14 pack! My word..I feel lightheaded..then he felt your ass?? Can you say I was in heaven?? whew. Is it hot in here?

I loved the last semi finale of LCS..I think I saw Richard in the audience. YES @ behind the scenes stuff..I love it!

Today is the last day that I will be here regularly, as we are moving, and not too sure about internet yet. I will try to check in as often as I can. I have to admit, I had a breakdown this morning, while reading yesterday's posts. I so needed this Colony at this time in my life..and now I'm not gonna have it on a daily basis. But I know you all will be sending me positive thoughts..and I will be checking in when I can.
I love the colony!!!
Ant, you're a lifesaver, I mean that..you've done so much good for me, it's unreal. words dont' really say it.
LOVE AND HUGS,
E
Oh if anyone wants my email..(HINT,HINT) please message me today, and if I miss anyone, ask Aliya, she will have it for sure.

Thank you for that gift.... when can I expect him at my door???
Have a wonderful time in Las Vegas!!!

Alright my love...what do I have to do to get in your top thoughts???? Bring you Luciano on a stick? I'm always here...hanging out yet you mention the same people time and time again on your blog. I'm not jealous or anything...not taking it personal...oh no...not me:) J/K but seriousley.

Good luck in your move Elena. Stressful time. We will be thinking of you and anticipating your return to the Colony.

Loved the blog ANT. I saw Sharon on Rosies blog a few weeks ago. She seems like such a sweet soul. Does she have a gay son? I saw her in a I Love My Gay Son t shirt on rosies blog.

So I keep mentioning Ross and Rosies blogs...but just between you and me. I like your the best. I commented on Ross' a few times in the beginning, but not anymore. I just go to look now. You are my main blog boyfriend:)

LONG LIVE THE ANT COLONY

BTW...I have always wanted a gay guy best friend. I have met a few that we have tried to have friendships with and they never turn out to be fun or even really nice. You seem to be the type of guy I'm looking for. Guess I'll have to settle for interent friending:)

Come see ANT in Denver in 08

One more thing. Melissa Etheridge has this thing when she tours where there are travel packages to select cities on her tour. You can get flight hotel tickets to the show and a meet and greet kind of deal. I want an ANT COLONY on tour package deal. It's not like your'e busy or anything. Get on in:)

LONG LIVE THE ANT COLONY

Happy Friday, Colony!! ANT I absolutely love behind the scenes videos. And to have you as our lovely host...nice! I hope you have a fabulous time in Vegas. Wish I were going for the weekend too.

Luciano is gorgeous...I could watch him all day long.

Elena, good luck with your move and I know you will find your way back to the Colony very quickly!

Have a great day ANT and the Colony!!

I like the personal blogs best, but it's nice to mix it up a little.

Have a great weekend. xo

I loved the behind the scenes today! I agree with frostbite that a day behind the scenes of LCS would be super fun to see! I hope you have a great weekend Ant!!!

*hugs*
Love Y'all!
~Jaime

P.S. Biology is over - woo hoo!

Of course we would LOVE behind the scenes of comic! What fun! On a lesser note, I like dance too what I do is watch one,and tape the other for later viewing on separate TVs that way you still get credit right?

Was that not just the best thing ever!! WOOHOO!! I love the 2 a**Cheek grab!!! YEAH BABY!!! You even got to smooches off of him!! Teehehehee! I love the "behinde the scenes" stuff it would be great for LCS!!! Tell NBC... oh, I think I just told them for you! I had fun at the taping of LCS on wednesday so, I think we'd all love to see YOU do the "Behinde The Scenes"!! And, I'll miss you this weekend! OXOXOX

I would love to see you do a backstage thingy for LCS. I think Frostbite's suggetsions are really good. It be nice to see how the comics prepare and stuff. I did see the semi-finals both 1 & 2 and honestly I'm really only happy with about 3 of them. However its still early and I can still be swayed.
LCS [b][i]needs to[/i][/b] beat So You Think You Can Dance. LCS is a gillion times better!

Have fun in Vegas!

Oh Lydia I really recommand getting a gay best friend. I have quite a few gay friends and they are the best!

I'm trying Cher Bear. Like I said...I haven't officially met the "one" yet. I see the ones I want to take home with me at the pride parades...but I obviousley don't go up to them and say "hey...I wanna take you home for my entertainment" the others I meet seem to just want me to have babies with them. Something I wouldn't mind if the guy was 1/2 way normal and I wanted a "dad" in the picture.

ANT is just going to have to fill that void for me. He seems like the perfect one for the job. Now if I can just get him to bend over and let me squeeze his tuchy too:)

LONG LIVE THE ANT COLONY

Cross poting my YES for the behind the scenes of LCS (new meaning to "behind" the scenes today, lol!)

Elena mentioned on Myspace that ppl don't need to e-mail her, they can just send her messages there. But if some here aren't on myspace and would like her e-mail, I do have it and have her permission to share it with members of the Colony, just ask.

Peace and love

Aliya (still drooling over Luciano)

I big YES to a behind the scenes look at LCS!!!

v-blog was soooo yummy today, and I'm not talking about the luncheon either. (although Luciano with the washboard abs might be condsidered dessert). Thanks for sharing him ... um, it... with us.

Happy Friday, Ant Colony! The weekend's just a work-day away!

Yes! Behind the scenes is always fun. I'm a big fan of "LAST COMIC STANDING" and would love to see more.

Thanks for sharing! (keep 'em coming)

XOX

I should have added Luciano was a nice treat for us verrrry appreciated thanks

I had a gay friend at work but I retired and the people at work don't meet outside of work for activities..though I tried to get them to parties and bars they are part-poopers But when I sometimes stop in for a quick visit[HOSPITAL] Iget my gay fix for an instant

Yes, I would enjoy behind the scenes for LCS, but I would really enjoy squeezing Luciano's behind. Thanks for all the fun, Ant. Today, I recognize YOU!

Thank you for that yummy treat! *sigh*
What a great blog!

Was he really licking your face, OMG...I'll take some of that! Way to give a girl a heart attack first thing in the morning...PHEW! Thanks for sharing him with us, Ant!

Would love a behind the scenes of LCS...you getting ready, talking to the contestants, to the other judges and to the winner at the end.

Well, have a glorious weekend Ant and Colony, looks like a hot one here in CA!

Thanks for the behind the scenes, ANT, And oh my word, thank you even more for that meat cake/eye candy. Frickin' yum!

Married chicks drooling over hot beef cake is okay, just so you all know. Beef, it's what's for dinner. And it's like window shopping. No intent to purchase and stuff in my "bag" but love to feel the fabrics, smell the new clothes fragrance, and maybe try it on. Ahhh... Okay, so no trying it on, but you know what I mean.

Have a super great and safe trip to Vegas, ANT. Have a great weekend everybody! :)

P.S. Did I say yum yet? :P

Ant, Hi! Good morning,

Fun behind the scenes...Luciano looked great but,so did YOU!
Would love a look behind the scenes at LCS.

Have a GREAT weekend !(((((hug's))))

JAIME::how did the final go?
Hi everyone! Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!

aloha

Thank You Ant, I smiled through the whole video. Have fun!!!!!

Hello there! happy friday. I'm almost done with my last day of work. I've gotten a lot of hugs and email addresses, which is nice. ANT..cant watch the vid at work, but will check it out when i get home later...and I would LOVE to see some behind the scene stuff on LCS...enjoyed the show this week, my friend and I watch every week...I have one I'm rooting for. :) And not only do I tell people to watch the show, I have told my friends to get your dvd..because it's great. A friend of mine has your cd now, I said, you gotta hear this- It's my buddy ANT!!
you can borrow it, but get your own copy!!


99 degrees in downtown Boston!

Hi ant colony, (NBC campus)! :D Hi Mr. Ant :) Well, in all my born days, I have never seen such an anatomically-correct person as is Luciano. Even wearing pants (as I am now. :) ), one can tell he is extraordinarily anatomically-correct. Mygoodness, he may have manly parts which are still yet to be mapped out fully in "Grey's Anatomy" (the book; not the t.v. show). You know - and this is just off the top of my head - but I bet he could have, if he really tried, a career as a model or actor or something like that somewhere in the industry. Please tell him that for me, Mr. Ant, next time he either gooses or licks you.

So what did you eat at this luncheon? Or have I gone too far now? (I really must try to remember "contextual paragraphical development". lol

Oh, Mr. Ant! I think these behind-the-scenes things are terrific. In fact, I have the name for your next t.v. or online special: "ANT: ALL NUDE!(of course) BEHIND!: "The Scenes!"

Sharon Gless is a long-time fav of mine. I didn't watch "Cagney and Lacey" all that much (since I had other things to do and places to go when that was on air). But as some here might already know, I fell in "smitten" with her when I was a kid and she played Carole Lombard in some godnameless made-for-tv movie (I think James Brolin MAY have played Clark Gable - I'm just not sure). She's a woman whose always been able to be/play sexy without being coyly sickening about it. And I like that! I really do! :D

I think that behind-the-scenes shows can be particularly good when they're not only entertaining (meaning preferably "all nude") but when they also shine a light on the WORK involved in cranking out some of the stuff that viewers take for granted as it comes out of the boob tube.

I like to learn things.:D ...And seeing who will lick and/or goose you does have its educational value. lol.


Oh, the t.v. ratings game: Not to make a flashdancer mad or anything, but I don't see how "So You Think You Can Dance" even compares to "LAst COMIC STANDING". Whenever I've tuned into "So...Dance", I feel like I'm watching really dragged out auditions for a Dr. Pepper commercial (and maybe a Diet D. Pepper at that). Well, bye now Mr. Ant!

Ant,

Thanks for the behind the scenes, behind the scenes glimpse in today's blog. It is so cool that you would want to share anything with us and today's little field trip was a treat. Loved how you got your cheeks checked too....was fun to see you as excited about other celebrities as we are about you, friend. You're so cute when you're having fun...hehehe.
I love Last Comic Standing, after all that is where I found YOU! For some of us going to comedy clubs, or any clubs, just doesn't seem to happen in our busy lives especially when you throw kids in to the mix, cuz free time and entertainment time seems to center more round making someone else happy. Last Comic Standing is an amazing asset to my saneness!!! This season is just the best ever, I sooooooooo appreciate your taking it international to find the talent. Hysterical! Thanks for giving them the exposure and us the reminder that laughter is universal. Personally, I loved the one austrailian who did the joke about the friend with one leg...he was great, but apparently thought he bombed and turned and left before you could invite him back...lol...it was just the one joke, but his delivery was so funny. I also love the background we get to learn about them all. Awesome, real people, easy to cheer them on feeling like we know them a bit more than if we had gone to see them at a club. I was sorry this past week to see that neither of the 'Mom' comedians made it through, but I know it had to be a blast for them to have been involved at all with LCS, and I am sure you helped make dreams come true for them....and so many others. You really have such good talent this year.
Yes Ant yes please please please do a behind the scenes blog at Last Comic Standing!!!!
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEEE!! And be sure to get Kathleen on there too cuz she is one I have cheered for as well.
And Ant, on your season, you may not have won, but you won! Won me as a fan, and now not just as a fan, but as a friend! You are an awesome guy, thanks for everything.

Your friend,
~Cathy~
aka J.A.Sparrow

P.S. ~ was that Richard doing the camera? Whether it was or not, please thank them for helping with the vblog. We appreciate it greatly. *Hugz* to you both!

So glad to see you've joined the ranks of the Blog-o-rama! First of all, you are so flippin' lucky. Luciano is BEYOND heavenly and he was so trying to make out with you. Lucky, lucky, lucky!! Thanks for sharing that with us. Queer As Folk! Can you say dee-lish-us! One of the best shows EVER in the history of the world. Loved it! Crazy about it! Fan-flippin-tastic! Secondly, L-C-S is so flippin' awesome this season. The best one yet! So flippin' happy to see you! Love, love, love you! Please do a behind the scenes vid for the Colony. So happy to have found you, this is my first post of what I predict to be many. WOO! Slap my virtual palm!

One more thing Ant,

Forgot to wish you a wonderful weekend in Vegas...Las Vegas that is...from Farmville, VA, also known as 'Farmvegas'.
Will be praying for safe travels and healthy, happy times for you, and a safe return back to the Colony.
And you can count on me to be talking up Last Comic Standing, but then I have been doing that already. I have watched 'dance' too, but c'mon colony...there is no real comparison here..LCS wins hands down, no question. Laughter IS the best medicine & LCS is the best medicine on tv. (I dont have cable or satalite, cuz can't afford it. Just rabbit ears here, get ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, & PBS, but even if i had a zillion channels and shows to choose from ....on Wednesdays @ 9 eastern time, my tv would still be on Last Comic Standing! I can't tell you how happy I am that Ant is a judge. It's like icing on the cake!)

I would LOVE to see behind-the-scences event of LCS. On the other hand, I think that America is catching LCS. Currently, Tivo is not included in the ratings, and watching episodes online are also not included in the ratings. If that was included, it would probably show that the show is doing well. I think that most people catch their shows online because it affords them time to do what they need to do with other things. :)

I enjoy the comedians so far, and I'm already a fan of Dante, Gina, Lavell, and Debra. That was awesome that Dante won two audience "no pass" wins. Being a SAHD (Stay at home dad), his family will definitely benefit! Way to go, Dante!

:)

Oops, and I like Jerry Dee and ! ;)

Of course, some of the others have made me laugh, but those are my favorites to win.

:)

Hello Ant and colony,

I came back again. I'm having a rough time and just need to be around some great people. I am recovering from surgery and have a long road to travel ahead. It's been a rough year and I feel horrible that I haven't been able to keep my girls busy this summer. We have had to be at home almost all of the time.

School starts back up in 4 weeks and I don't think I will be back on my feet by then. Actually soccer starts next week and I am not sure if I can get my oldest there for the week night practice.

Thank you for the deliteful eye candy in the blog. It is always nice to see a body in that great shape. I'd like to feel those gluteal muscles too! Abs and A*s, the best mucles groups to be had.

Thanks for everything

Hi Ant,
All I can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, what a cutie pie and the guy without the shirt wasn't bad either. Nice way to end the week, have a great weekend everybody.

Hey Colony!
I would love to see behind-the-scenes material and I would also recommend the show to everyone I know if only they aired it here in Sweden. But I'm sending all my positive thoughts your way and hope for the best. Might not help, but hey, it's the thought that counts. ;-)
Have a great time in Las Vegas.

Colony,

What was was that? A behind the scenes behind the scenes! I LOVED QAF and TOTALLY miss the show! Good to see everyone healthy and well.

Have a smashing great weekend and ENJOY YOURSELF!!

JellyPeanutButter....I am wishing you a quick recovery...I hope that you have people that will be able to help you with your children and you, as well. What kind of surgery did you have?
At least, you had a pleasant experience this moring with Ant's blog (with BUILT-in gift)!

Remember there are people that care about you and hope for you the best!

I would love to see behind the scenes of Last Comic Standing. I think Kevin T said it best all nude hahaha. Good day for me but since I have been trying extremely hard to be positive about life I dont think I have even had a bad day. Hope everyone is well.


Jellypeanutbutter, hope you feel better and get a speedy recovery.

Ok Ant, hurry back from Las Vegas. I'll be going through talky blog withdrawl LOL. Have a great time. Cant wait to hear all about it. Love ya!!

Hi again Ant. I don't know if you have a rule about posting more than one comment a day but just wanted to say that my day took a turn toward crap-tastic this afternoon. ICK! I tried to drown my sorrows in a Mars bar but now I just feel guilt. Funny how a day can turn on you so fast but I'm going to try to reclaim my joy. Thanks for sharing with your Blog. I look forward to stopping by on Monday for a visit ( no internet at home - boo-hoo ). Hope your trip to LV was fab! Loads of luv from Canada, EH? xoxo

OMG! Can Luciano grab my butt too?? I would die a happy woman ;)

Cathy (in Hawaii) - The Finals...well...went ;-p I don't have grades back yet, but am supposed to be getting them Monday (I'll let you know how I did!) Thanks so much for asking ;-)

JellyPeanutButter - I'm praying that you have the quickest recovery ever (so quick *you* won't even believe it ;-)) I grew up with a dad who was in and out of hospitals for most of my life, and it's just something you deal with...it's not going to ruin their lives (or summer) if you're not "on your feet", they'll get back to their normal routine when you get better and will forget all about it ;-) I almost think it's a great lesson to learn that your parents aren't invincible, it makes you really appreciate the time you have with them while they're here (on their feet or not ;-)). At least you are alive and in their lives - that's what counts (and even if they don't see that right this second, they will later on down the road!!

*hugs*
Love y'all!
~Jaime

Hiya Ant~

My first "Crossover" post. YES YES YES!! We would LOVE a behind the scenes from Last Comic Standing. I'd especially love to hear the comments from the judges after each of the performances. Just a thought!!

What fun...I'll probably 'double-dip" and post on both site some more!!

Much Love~
~Michele~

Hey "JellyPeanutButter ant"! I hope that you're feeling better and better everyday!

And hi "new ant colony ants"! :D Welcome.

And howdydoo, "myspace ants". :D Isn't the NBC campus colony neat? (And the NBC letterman sweater is so bloggy ivy league). I wear mine while otherwise nude, since it draws attention to the proud and colorful peacock.

"Truelisa ant". I have friends in Sweden. Say hello to them for me. Thanks. :D

ANT: beautiful gift to the colony!!!! Sharon Gless is as real as real can be - isn't she?? Had a very bad week..wonderful to come home too. Thanks. Peace.

kevin,
you crack me up!!

What QAF DVD in November? You do realize this might be the first anybody is hearing about it.

ANT: You treat us SOOOO well and we THANK YOU for that! Your Colony will ALWAYS celebrate you and NBC is SMART to add you to their site! Much love and Peace,
Taryn!
:-)

I'm becoming insane.*

But I think I like it!

YES! I really like it! I do. I do!

I made a little Mr. Ant homage video and added it to my myspace page

(oh, yeah. thats the insane part - did I fail to mention that?) :D

'Just teasing. I made it for fun. I'm a lover and not a windows Mr. Ant compilation homage movie maker. SO DON'T JUDGE ME :I

(don't call the Sinatra estate either, please) :)

I placed it under: "Television" (seemed appropriate somehow). Click my name here (it should take you to my myspace page) and ask to become my myspace friend. :D

:D Oh its so much fun to be an ant!

* or its just 1:40 in the morning.

Hello Ant,
