Who are you Jonathan Van Ness?

The Queer Eye star on Trump, HIV, and, of course, hair.

Jonathan Van Ness is a podcaster, a hairdresser, and host of the Game of Thrones webseries Gay of Thrones. But he’s best known as one of the β€œFab Five” on Queer Eye, the incredibly popular Netflix makeover show.

He came into talk to us because he’s just written a book. It’s called Over the Top and as well as the fun and bubbly β€œJVN” that people have come to love, it addresses some very serious, very difficult issues: abuse, addiction and the impact of HIV. In today’s episode we hear about both sides of Jonathan Van Ness.
