New York, NY (PRWEB) November 17, 2004 -- "QUEER EYE FOR THE
STRAIGHT GUY" American and French Super-Stars, Carson Kressley and Benjamin Bove
will present the 32nd International Emmy Award for Non-Scripted Show at the
Hilton Hotel in New York City on Monday November 22nd.
This marks the first time that the International "QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT
GUY" franchise brings together U.S. and international talent to promote the
global success of the show, which has turned these experts/actors into goodwill
ambassadors of the Gay movement worldwide.
The International Emmy Award is known worldwide for honoring excellence in
programming produced outside of the United States. The Awards Gala is a major
event of The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. International
Emmy Award is granted in the categories of: Arts Programming, Children & Young
People, Comedy, Documentary, Drama Series, News Coverage, Non-Scripted
Entertainment, and Television Movie/Mini-series.
Graham Norton, award-winning British talk show host and comedian, will host the
2004 International Emmy Awards Gala on November 22. Presenters include:
legendary musician, actor and UNICEF Ambassador, Harry Belafonte; stars of
France’s format of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Benjamin Bove and Junior with
U.S. Queer Eye star Carson Kressley; Grammy award winning superstar Lenny
Kravitz; internationally known actress, Lesley-Anne Down; Jeremy Piven of HBO's
Entourage; news legend from 60 Minutes Don Hewitt; multiple Emmy Award-winning
actor, Michael E. Knight; teen sensation, Sara Paxton President & CEO of the

The success of the French version of the 'Queer Eye For The Straight Guy' is
greatly attributed to the contribution of Benjamin Bove who has become a
super-star phenomenon in France since he was introduced to the French audiences
in September. No one in the history of French TeleVision has ever received such
a warm welcome and enjoyed such high level of success and acceptance by both the
media and audiences alike.
Benjamine’s success is very good news for the Queer Eye For the Straight Guy
Global Franchise, TF1, GLAM and the French Gay community at large. His success
speaks not only of the great qualities and appeal of this Fashion Connoisseur,
but also of the global appeal of this Non-Scripted “Reality” T.V. Show and of
its role as a catalyst for a change in attitudes towards gays in France and the
rest of the world.
