Jess welcomes TWO of the stars of the groundbreaking Showtime series Queer as Folk: Peter Paige & Scott Lowell (aka: Emmett Honeycutt & Ted Schmidt)!! We discuss the infamous Larry King interview where they were grilled on their sexuality, how QAF changed the way sex & sexuality was depicted on cable, why The L Word was able to break into the mainstream zeitgeist in a way QAF was unable to, the Brian Kinney/Gale Harold enigma, lack of diversity on the show, how Pose's Billy Porter was up for the role of Emmett, how Peter Paige was nearly cast as Jack on Will & Grace, and a lot more!
