IS JIM J. BULLOCK GAY?

” Tim: Hm, that’s so tertg, as of urse I want to talk to you a lot about old TV characters who read as gay, like Monroe on Too Close for Comfort [hereafter referred to as TCFC]. Smh was gay? As a young boy, I didn’t even know what “gay” was, but there was that thg, a nnectn you ma wh certa characters that I, turn, had people tell me they had that nnectn wh Monroe before they even knew their own sexualy.

Tim: Well, you are really gettg to the nut of what I want to talk about, bee TCFC was one of those early-80s ss, like Diff’rent Strok or The Facts of Life or Silver Spoons that was always on the background when I was junr high school, and I always sensed that Monroe was, if not gay, then, like a clown or a nerd or the butt of the joke, and that fely stck a nerve wh me, bee I was all of those thgs. Was he gay to you?

BULLOCK ON WORKG WH THE FAMO EVANGELIL, AND HIS FIRST RPONSE WHEN THE IA WAS FLOATED TO HIM: “MY HONT-TO-J REACTN WAS ‘SHE’S FUCKG CRAZY.’ AND HE SAID, ‘WELL, WOULD YOU MEET WH HER?’ I SAID, ‘OH, MY GOD, Y, OF URSE.’”BY MATTHEW JABSSEPTEMBER 17, 2021BY JOHN STOREY/GETTY IMAG.SAVE THIS STORYSAVESAVE THIS STORYSAVETAMMY FAYE BAKKER’S GILD WORLD ME CRASHG DOWN 1987. THE PERKY HOST OF THE PTL CLUB, A LONG-NNG CHRISTIAN PROGRAM THAT MA BAKKER ONE OF AMERI’S MOST FAMO EVANGELILS, WAS TOO CLOSELY AFFILIATED WH HER HBAND—ASSEMBLI OF GOD TELEVANGELIST JIM BAKKER—TO EVA THE D SNDAL THAT LAND HIM FERAL PRISON. BUT TAMMY FAYE, WH HER RTOONISH MAKP AND MIDWTERN MAGISM, WAS ALWAYS THE MORE CHARISMATIC BAKKER. IN THE ’90S, AFTER REMARRYG AND CHANGG HER LAST NAME TO MSNER, SHE MA A SOFT EBACK THE FORM OF THE JIM J. & TAMMY FAYE SHOW, A DAYTIME TALK SHOW FULL OF WACKY SEGMENTS LIKE GOAT-KG NTTS.THE JIM OF THE TLE WAS NOT MSNER’S RCERATED EX, BUT JIM J. BULLOCK—A EDIC ACTOR BT KNOWN FOR THE ABC S TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT, A RECURRG ROLE ON ALF, AND THE LATE-’80S ERATN OF HOLLYWOOD SQUAR. AS HER HOST, BULLOCK SAW MSNER’S POST-SNDAL LIFE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL A WAY THAT FEW OTHERS DID. IN ADDN TO JIM J. & TAMMY FAYE, HE APPEARED THE 2000 DOCUMENTARY THE EY OF TAMMY FAYE, A GOOD PRIMER FOR THE NEW MOVIE OF THE SAME NAME STARRG JSI CHASTA AS MSNER AND ANDREW GARFIELD AS BAKKER.“TAMMY WAS ALWAYS A REAL PERSON; WHAT YOU SAW IS WHAT YOU GOT,” BULLOCK TELLS VANY FAIR. “HER FAH WAS EVERYTHG TO HER. SHE WAS AN CREDIBLY PASSNATE WOMAN AND VERY CHRISTLIKE, LOVG EVERYONE. IT’S HARD WHEN YOU GET TO A SUATN LIKE THAT THAT SPS OUT OF NTROL SO QUICKLY. IT’S HARD TO KNOW WHICH WAY IS UP AND WHICH WAY IS DOWN, AND SHE NEVER SAID ANYTHG BAD ABOUT JIM.”THE IA FOR A MSNER-LED SERI AROSE WHEN SHE APPEARED ON LEEZA, THE NBC TALK SHOW HOSTED BY FORMER ENTERTAMENT TONIGHT RRPONNT LEEZA GIBBONS. LEEZA PRODUCER JOHN REDMANN HAD PUT TOGETHER A 1994 EPISO THAT UNED THREE SNDAL-PLAGUED WOMEN OF THE LATE-20TH CENTURY: MSNER, GENNIFER FLOWERS, AND ROXANNE PULZER. GIBBONS SAYS SHE IALLY WORRIED THE NCEPT WAS EXPLOATIVE, BUT ONCE REDMANN NVCED MSNER TO PARTICIPATE, THE OTHERS AGREED TOO. AT THE END OF THE EPISO, THE TR PERFORMED “I WILL SURVIVE” TOGETHER.“SEEG HER PERSON WAS LIKE WHEN YOU’RE A KID AND YOU SEE A CHARACTER AT DISNEYLAND,” REDMANN SAYS. “YOU N’T BELIEVE THAT SHE’S A REAL PERSON AND SHE REALLY EXISTS. SHE WAS TY BUT WH A HUGE PRENCE. SHE KNEW HOW TO TURN ON, WHETHER ON MERA OR OFF MERA. SHE WAS SRED PEOPLE WOULDN’T LIKE HER. EVERY TIME I SAW HER AND HUGGED HER, MY SHIRTS WOULD HAVE HALF HER FACE IMPRTED ON THEM BEE SHE WORE SO MUCH MAKP. I’D HAVE ORANGE BRONZER AND RED LIPSTICK MARKS ALL OVER.”GIBBONS SCRIB MSNER AS “THE QUTSENTIAL TALK SHOW GUT” BEE SHE WAS “UNHIBED, VULNERABLE, AND A VISUAL BONANZA WH HER EYELASH.” AFTER THE TAPG, GIBBONS TOLD MSNER SHE SHOULD HAVE HER OWN SHOW. REDMANN SUGGTED THE IA TO PRODUCER DAN WEAVER, WHO HAD ALSO WORKED ON DONAHUE AND THE GERALDO RIVERA SHOW. SO WEAVER STARTED TO VELOP THE PROJECT, TERMG THAT MSNER WOULD BE A GREAT TALKER BUT NOT SUCH A RELIABLE EMCEE. SHE’D NEED A HOST TO HELP KEEP THE BROADST ON TRACK. WEAVER, WHO DIED 2018, ALSO CID THAT HOST SHOULD BE AN OPENLY GAY MAN—A RARE REQUT CIR 1994. SOMEHOW, THOUGH, MA SENSE. MSNER’S PRIMARY DIENCE SEEMED TO HAVE TWO HALV: NSERVATIV WHO LOVED HER PARABL, AND GAYS WHO LOVED HER PAGEANTRY.BULLOCK WAS WORKG ON A LTLE-SEEN S CANADA WHEN HE GOT THE LL OM WEAVER. “MY HONT-TO-J REACTN WAS ‘SHE’S FUCKG CRAZY,’” BULLOCK SAYS. “THAT’S LERALLY WHAT I SAID TO HIM, AND HE SAID, ‘WELL, WOULD YOU MEET WH HER?’ I SAID, ‘OH, MY GOD, Y, OF URSE.’ I DIDN’T KNOW ANYTHG ABOUT TAMMY, BUT I ED TO TUNE , LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, TO PTL [THE BAKKER-N WORK THAT AIRED THE PTL CLUB] AND LGH AT HER.”MSNER AND BULLOCK CLICKED RIGHT AWAY, AND THEY SOON FILMED TRIAL NS—NO FANCY LIGHTG, NO WARDROBE, JT A MERA ON A TRIPOD AND A SET THAT MSNER LIKENED TO THE JUNKYARD OM SANFORD AND SON. “WE WERE JT TRYG TO BE WHO WE WERE, BUT REGIS AND KATHIE LEE WAS SORT OF THE TEMPLATE, AND THIS LTLE SHOW LLED MIKE & MATY,” BULLOCK SAYS. EVENTUALLY, THEY SHOT AND SOLD A PILOT TO FOX, RERDG A PEPPY THEME SONG POSED BY “THE NANNY NAMED FRAN” WRER ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY.BY RON GALELLA COLLECTN/GETTY IMAG.“EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THAT SHOW, CLUDG TAMMY AND MYSELF, WORKED FOR PENNI ON THE DOLLAR BEE NO ONE WAS GOG, ‘THIS IS MAGIC, THIS IS GOLD,’” BULLOCK SAYS. PEOPLE WERE GOG, ‘WE'RE TAKG A REAL CHANCE HERE.’ THE WARM-UP GUY [EDIAN STEVE MOORE] WAS MAKG MORE THAN TAMMY AND ME.”THE JIM J. & TAMMY FAYE SHOW PREMIERED AT THE TAIL END OF 1995. ACRDG TO BULLOCK, HAD A PEE-WEE’S PLAYHOE RA. “TAMMY FAYE CHANNELED LUCILLE BALL WHENEVER SHE WAS SEEKG ‘THE FUNNY,’” PRODUCER JAN LANDIS SAYS; ED, AN EARLY EPISO FOUND MSNER SHOVG CHOLATE HER BRA DURG A FONDUE SEGMENT. (LANDIS ALSO SAYS BAKKER WAS “AN EMOTNAL CHILD BOTH ON AND OFF MERA AND MATAED A SENSE OF ENTLEMENT THAT SHE ENJOYED DURG HER PTL DAYS.”) THE SERI STGGLED TO BOOK A-LIST CELEBRI. WHEN ASKED TO NAME AN PECIALLY FAMO GUT, BULLOCK C A POST–GOLN GIRLS ESTELLE GETTY. BUT THERE WAS ONE EXCEPTN: ROSIE O’DONNELL, WHO ADORED MSNER. O’DONNELL, AS BULLOCK RELLS , ENURAGED THE SHOW’S MICROMANAGG HIGHER-UPS TO LET MSNER AND BULLOCK BE AS SILLY AS THEY WANTED. THOSE HIGHER-UPS, BULLOCK SAYS, WERE TOO BY DOG THE OPPOSE, ATTEMPTG TO REIGN THE HOSTS’ WHIMSY.MOST POPULARWH MATRO, LEONARD BERNSTE’S LEGACY AND LOV FALLY H THE BIG SCREENBY REBEC FORD25 PERFECT TV EPISOS FROM THE LAST 25 YEARSBY HILLARY BISTHE BOOK OF CLARENCE IS A BOMBASTIC JOURNEY BACK TO THE BIBLIL ERABY REBEC FORDTHROUGHOUT THEIR TIME TOGETHER, BULLOCK NEVER SAW MSNER WHOUT HER SIGNATURE SMETICS—HEAVY MASRA, LORFUL EYHADOW, LIP LER, THE WORKS. “WE WANTED TO DO A MAKEOVER SHOW,” HE SAYS. “WE SAID, ‘TAMMY, WE’RE JT GOG TO TAKE OFF FOR A MUTE.

MSNER HAD EMBRACED GAY PEOPLE ON THE PTL SHOW, PASSNATELY TERVIEWG AN AIDS PATIENT AT A TIME WHEN THE VIS WAS THE SOURCE OF NATNWI DISCRIMATN. BULLOCK HIMSELF HAD NTRACTED HIV 1985, AND HIS PARTNER, JOHN, WOULD DIE OM AIDS PLITNS 1996. “I WOULD BE AT THE STUD ALL DAY SHOOTG, AND THEN I’D E HOME AND JOHN WAS SO SICK,” BULLOCK RELLS. “SO MANY GOOD THGS AND SO MANY BAD THGS WERE HAPPENG AT THE SAME TIME.

SHE LOVED JOHN, AND SO SHE WAS RIGHT THERE WH ME AS MUCH AS SHE ULD BE.”THE JIM J. & TAMMY FAYE SHOW DIDN’T LAST LONG. MSNER WAS DIAGNOSED WH LON NCER 1996 AND LEFT TO SEEK TREATMENT. BULLOCK AND THE PRODUCERS ATTEMPTED TO MOVE FORWARD WHOUT HER, DNG A HANDFUL OF FEMALE REPLACEMENTS, CLUDG KTLA MORNG NEWS REPORTER GAYLE ANRSON AND A RELATIVELY UNKNOWN KRIS JENNER. BUT THE PRODUCERS SETTLED ON ANN ABERNATHY, WHO HAD HOSTED ALONGSI REGIS PHILB BEFORE KATHIE LEE GIFFORD ENTERED THE PICTURE. THE JIM J. & ANN SHOW DIDN’T SURVIVE THE YEAR. “ANN WAS A LOVELY WOMAN AND A TOTAL PRO,” BULLOCK SAYS. “BUT THEY CHANGED THE THEME SONG, AND EVERYTHG JT BEME DILUTED.”ONCE THE SHOW DISBAND, BULLOCK AND MSNER DIDN’T SEE MUCH OF EACH OTHER, AS THEY DIDN’T N THE SAME SOCIAL CIRCL. MSNER LATER EQUENTED GAY-PRI PARAS, DID A SEASON OF THE REALY SERI THE SURREAL LIFE, AND PUBLISHED A MEMOIR LLED I WILL SURVIVE…AND YOU WILL, TOO.

SHE WOULD LL ME AND CHECK ON HOW I WAS DOG. I KNOW SHE WAS HAPPY TO BE BACK ON TELEVISN.”THE FACT THAT BOTH HOSTS HAD EXPERIENCED THE RISE AND FALL OF FAME NTRIBUTED TO THEIR LOOSE, LAWLS APPROACH ON THE JIM J. & TAMMY FAYE SHOW.
