Home Shopping Gets Gay...er on JACKtv

Think QVC but much sexier and with a fun story line.

Ever watched those horrendous home shopping hosts and thought, Why would I buy something from a tacky salesman with Midwest newscaster hair? ’Cause I have. OUTtv (Canada) has a remedy that finally marries hot guys and gay shopping talents and entertains you all the while in JACKtv.

Viewers are privy to a wide selection of products, ranging from clothing to underwear to accessories and gifts, but the sales pitch is woven into an amusing plot following the sexy host (Jack, duh) and his pals. Gorgeous Jack provides counsel for his gaggle of gay friends on a broad array of topics such as health and dating, right down to the sexy pair of Rufskin brand jeans he knows will showcase viewers' best "assets" the next time they go out. The genius part: If you covet the same hot jeans (or whatever), you can simply call up or click online and voilà! A purchase is on its way to you.

Viewers can see how Jack mentors all of his buds as with the opening episode, where he helps his friend Cody gear up for his first hot date with a stylish new wardrobe and an injection of self-assurance. Who doesn’t like to see a makeover show? Plus it’s a refreshingly simple concept: gays with great style helping out a fellow bro. There’s always the chance to catch an eyeful as well, as both Jack and his friends show off the latest styles in underwear, swimwear, and fitness gear.

A sneak preview of the upcoming series launches Saturday, April 24, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern/Pacific on OUTtv. Customers place orders either via a toll-free telephone line or online at ShopJackTV.com where you can also download the series as webisodes.
