FOF #417 - The Jim Verraros Comedy Hour - 10.27.06


American Idol finalist Jim Verraros holds the distinction of being the first person to come out as gay on the show. He was never in the closet.
Before RJ admitted it, before Clay denied it, there was the one and only Jim Verraros. Jim was going to college downtown when a friend suggested he try out for the television show, which at the time was unknown what a hit it was going to be. He just walked and sang his way into the top ten, next to Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini.
Placing 9th on the first season, Jim was one of the most talked about contestants to ever appear on American Idol. Because he was raised by deaf parents, he is fluent in American Sign Language. As a child, Jim ironically excelled in singing and acting at a very early age so much that the school's music teachers had the task of explaining his talent to his parents who were naturally unaware of Jim’s abilities.
When you meet Jim face to face, you get a sense like you've known him all along. Warm and embracing, he's the kind of person who you would have been best friends with in high school.
On today's show Jim joins Gregg Shaprio, Marc Felion and me your true blue pal Fausto Fernós to talk about the sacrifices and benefits of being out gay man in the music and film industry.
Jim comes to talk about his new film, "Eating Out Two: Sloppy Seconds" a bedroom face about where queer youth try to find sex. Although these new type of films owe a lot to the works of the great John Waters, they share a common thread with films like "Porky's" and "American Pie" in their sophomorphic goofiness and superficial sex escapades. It's fun, like eating cotton candy, but it's mostly sugar. Did we mention there's full frontal nudity in the film?
Jim has been keeping busy this past year working on a follow up to his album "Rollercoaster" which he collaborated with Gabe Lopez. Some of the songs have a catchy disco groove like "I Want You" and others get darker and sexier with the irresistible "So Deep." So go buy it here, right now.

An honest guest in the hands of Fausto makes a great show. QTurns!
Said by: Jason Smith at October 27, 2006 07:10 AM
Another awesome interview. I love Jim Verraros' music and think he is really handsome, and so brave to come out as he has. To have never been in the closet at all takes guts.
I'm sure he had lots more to say about his peers but he showed great restraint! Keep your eyes on Jim, he's going to be around many years after the others are long forgotten. I LOVE YOU JIM!
Said by: Daryl at October 27, 2006 11:27 AM
I'm totally buying some (if not all) of Jim's music soon. It sounds wonderful. I thought the interview with Jim was wonderful. He seems very approachable and down-to-earth. I look forward to hearing more from him.
P.S. Fausto, McGreevy said that he WOULD get married if New Jersey allows full and equal marriage.
Said by: Milton in NYC at October 27, 2006 12:54 PM
Thats what I figured Milton- didn't he vote against gay marriage when he was in the closet? Now that he's out he wants to get married. That's kind of jerky, don't you think?
Said by: Fausto at October 27, 2006 01:00 PM
What a talented gorgeous nice guy!
Said by: Janie at October 27, 2006 03:05 PM
Jim, you two-timing son of a biscuit. How dare you cheat on me with a 39 year old? What about what we had last year? You even admitted on a voice message we recorded last year of leaving your underwear at my place. I hope your faggot ass goes to faggot hell...oh, wait, I see that you've taken a picture with a girl...that means you must be straight! Oh, in that case. I love JIM. much love baby!
Great job Faustina. Next time though keep your "pinga" under control. Pervertido! Dejenerado!
Said by: Amnesia Sparkles at October 27, 2006 03:41 PM
You should see Jim in "Eating Out 2" he was working that va-jay-jay!
Said by: Fausto at October 27, 2006 04:34 PM
He was a great guest guys... Would love to hear him on again soon
Said by: Jimmy D at October 27, 2006 10:17 PM
I have never watched an episode of American Idol, and apart from the names "Kelly and Clay" I had no idead who was on the show (also, not a fan of the former 'artists'). I was skeptical of this show at first. I am a cynic of "reality" tv shows like American Idol and usually of the contestants as well.
As I listened to the interview, I was really impressed. Jim sounds like a really down to earth guy, and very funny to boot. He has a lucky boy friend/partner. I hope to hear him on the show again.
Said by: Christopher at October 28, 2006 08:03 AM
I'm a little embarassed to admit it, but I saw Jim on tour with the Idols, and he was a stand out. He sounded even better live than on the tube, and his dance tracks are damn fine! As much as I liked "Eating Out", "Sloppy Seconds" is even better... the chemistry between the three leads is awesome (I am still laughing at the three-way).
Oh, and Fausto and Marc, STOP saying "in relationship to Larry King!" Relationship is a noun. Horrifying as it may be, one can be IN a relationship WITH Larry King, but not TO. Sarah Feingold politely tried to clue you boys in but you didn't catch on. So studs, go review your "School House Rock." Lord only knows the deliciously cruel things Amanda will say if you bungle your grammar like that with her in the room. Hmmmm, on second thought..... Love you, mean it.
Said by: Brian at October 28, 2006 08:49 AM
You have to forgive us Brian, since our show producer is a small old Mexican woman who barely speaks any English at all. But she like many Mexican workers is the backbone of the industry.
Thank you for your vigilence and in sharing your grammatical wisdom.
We'll be changing our Breakdown question to say "What is your age in relation to Larry King's age?"
Said by: Fausto at October 28, 2006 12:01 PM
I gotta say Jim seemed a little full of himself? I don't know. I hate to be the one person with the negative comment. Although I gotta say I love 'Dirty Criminal'.
Said by: George at October 28, 2006 11:14 PM
What about getting someone else besides Larry King to compare yourself to... Of course (most) people will be younger! And so??? What about comparing ages with Madonna, since FOF likes to talk about her... Maybe I'm closer to LK than I would like to admit and that makes me feel uncomfortable. But his name grates on me, for some reason...
Said by: Patricia Fernós at October 28, 2006 11:15 PM
Because Larry King is someone who in my opinion has forged the conventions of a talk-show and talk radio, and the question is a way of paying tribute to this funny intelligent and horny old man who still works seven days a week interviewing people.
Said by: Fausto at October 29, 2006 11:17 AM
What a great interview! Jim does really seem like a laid back guy. Only if everyone in the music industry was like that. ::shrug::
Said by: Enzo at October 29, 2006 11:54 AM
I agree with George, in that Jim seems like a nice guy, but with a hint of arrogance that didn't really sit well with me. Overall, he seems cool. Just a bit... yeah.
Said by: Justin the Mighty at October 31, 2006 03:18 AM
yay! jim is cool... i was waiting for you guys to interview him...
next - Will Young from the UK...! hehe... if he's cool enough... :p
Said by: Jau at October 31, 2006 04:51 AM
Great interview guys! I never cease to be impressed by your interview skills.
I already like Jim, already own Rollercoaster in fact, but he was totally NOT what I expected at all. I was very pleasantly surprised by how down-to-earth and all-around sweet he seemed. Based solely on his pics I would have expected him to be completely full of himself and his pretty-boy good looks. How awesome to get to hear him in a candid interview! Many thanks to FOF for exposing the "true" Jim....
Much love always,
Troy
Said by: Troy in Sacto at October 31, 2006 07:43 PM
OMG! Great show guys!
I can't believe anyone in the US has heard of Amy Winehouse! I'm one of her biggest fans, and went to see her live in September. Awsome! She's so great live.
Also, as a gay teen, I was very interested in finding out what Jim had to say about coming out. Thanks again!
Said by: Jojo in London at November 1, 2006 08:22 AM
I am catching up with the podcasts and really like Jim's interview. he is refeshingly honest. I wish him success in all his endeavors. Guys, you need to have him on as a regular.
