Awwwwww. I think this sounds like fun. Tyra’s show is one of my guilty pleasures. Easy on the eyes and fascinating with what they do with the photography. Sounds like Clay, who is a good RL friend to Tyra, is having a little fun after his Spamalot run on Broadway.

My daughter watches this show, she said Tyra loves her some Clay Aiken. Well, daughter loves her some Tyra, so she brought Clay’s last album and loves it.

OMG!! Why????

Um – why? He’s not a model, not a photographer, knows nothing about fashion, isn’t a ratings getter, he’s not even a hair or makeup guy or a set designer, or, or, or, or…… So far as I can tell he has no qualifications whatsoever. ANTM has been losing me more and more each season – I’m pretty much over the whole damned thing.

kate, can you read? It says he’s working with them in an acting challenge. He spent the last year acting on Broadway.

This is going to be fun!
LOVE Clay Aiken!!!

Um – why not? The segment is an ACTING challenge. Spending 7 months in a lead roll on Broadway certainly is qualification enough to participate in this challenge.

Tyra always has been partial to the gays. Oh, well…now that Clay’s out, I guess we’ll be seeing him embrace his gayness.

Sometimes the models are required to learn lines, dress in costumes and to run through a skit with an actor on a stage. The actor then judges the models on their acting ability (or lack thereof). Clay is certainly qualified to do this after just completing a successful run in Broadway’s Spamalot. With his fairness and sense of humor, he will be a good judge.

should be fun, Clay Aiken was great in Spamalot . Can not
wait for the season to start!

Do you think they’ll call him Miz Clay?

I cannot get over the comments from people who have not followed his career !!! If you did , you would know that the dude got RAVE….and GLOWING reviews for his appearance on Broadway in Spamalot . Clay is a phenominal entertainer and now can add improv (yes improv) comedic acting to his list of accomplishments. Do any of you making those silly comments know just how difficult it is to pull of that kind of feat ?? Clay took the place of David Hyde Pierce (Fraser) after DHP winning a Toni for his part as Robin in Spamalot . For anyone to do this let alone a novice is truly remarkable and Clay received nothing but good reviews for it ~!!

Clay is a fantastic choice to show some of the girls some ACTING tips (after all he has acted in a few shows now ) and to be a judge (he has been a Judge before for a Cdn. talent compitition) and he still has a HUGE fanbase !

I am so looking forward to seeing him again !! YOU GO CLAY!!!!

Response to Jamie:

Now why would they do that ?? Do all heterosexual folks get called by the same name???? GEEEEEEESH , your homophobia is showing !!

Thumb up Thumb down 0

It’s not homophobia, I just like rhymes. ***.

Miz Jay/Clay, see…it rhymes. And he’s no David Hyde Pierce.
