In this week’s insightful episode of In the Den, Jen sits down with award-winning writer, director, and producer Jay Randall to discuss a wide range of topics from Jay’s experiences growing up as a gay kid in a highly religious family in the South in the 90’s to his time working on the massively popular Ru Paul’s Drag Race. Jay and Jen discuss the importance of seeing queer representation in the media and the complexities of rainbow capitalism. 

Special Guest: Jay Randall 

Jay began his career working on both the original and digital programming teams at LOGO, where he contributed to the 27-time Emmy Award winning RuPaul’s Drag Race, or as he likes to call it: the best show on television. 

Currently, he is an associate creative director at Paramount Brand Studio, where he makes work for ad partners across Paramount Global’s vast library of channels and platforms. Jay also serves on the board of Proud, Paramount’s employee resource group that provides support for LGBTQ+ employees and shapes content across the company through a queer lens.

Jay grew up in Mississippi, but now lives in Harlem, NYC. He is a theatre fanatic, laughs all the time and is known amongst his friends for his legendary fried chicken.

Jay is happiest when he is creating.
