Today marks the 10th anniversary of the premiere of the Emmy Award-winning television series “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” and to celebrate, Bravo is running an all-day marathon today, from 6:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
The series, which starred “The Fab Five,” including Thom Filicia, Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Carson Kressley and Jai Rodriguez, ran from 2003-2007, and followed the men as they performed a “make-better” on someone by revamping his wardrobe, upgrading his home décor, and offering overall lifestyle advice.

"I was very fortunate to be a part of the Fab Five on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," said Filicia. “Not only was I able to work with a sassy group of guys, but we also paved the way for a new era of television, indulged in the joy of comic relief and celebrated diversity.”
During its run, the critically acclaimed, cutting-edge series received numerous accolades including an Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Program, three GLAAD Media Awards nominations and two wins for Outstanding Reality Program in addition to raves by Entertainment Weekly, TV Guide and The Associated Press, among others.
