Frankie Grande (on Reality TV, RHOBH, Madonna, Broadway, & Living an Authentic Life!)

Frankie Grande steps back Behind The Rope. We have to stop meeting like this! Although it has only been a few weeks, we cannot keep up with Frankie and he is here to share many new projects. First things first, we chat with Frankie about the fact that NYC’s Broadway is coming back and will be open and alive this fall. We also talk about his time on Big Brother, would he ever go back, consider other Reality Competition shows such as Survivor and Amazing Race, what are his guilty pleasure reality shows of yesteryear and today. We also dish the dirt on fav reality shows, thoughts on Real Housewives and other pleasures rooted in Pop Culture history. A forever advocate of the LGBTQIA community, Frankie chats about what that means to him and how important it is to live an authentic life, both in front of, and off camera. We revisit Frankie’s love of Madonna, having met her and all, and deep dive into his favorite era of Madonna - the music, fashion, the Madonna of it all. Speaking of Frankie’s new projects, congrats are in order as he is the new host of the SpongeBob Podcast for Nickelodeon. Of course he is because who better to host a SpongeBob Podcast than shine bright like a Frankie, Frankie Grande. With Pride just around the corner, we chat with Frankie about his upcoming “Rainbowthon”, next Thursday June 3rd where he and a few friends (JoJo Siwa, Jewel, Alexandra Billings, and many, many more) host a virtual performance, celebration and all out party in support of Los Angeles’ LGBT Center. Like last year, perhaps a certain family member will be making a guest appearance. Ya never know. Thanks for stopping by again Frankie!! Always a pleasure. ** This Episode was recorded last week just prior to Singer Demi Lovato coming out as Nonbinary. Demi Lovato now goes by the pronouns They/Them.
