But Jonathan's been an artist long before "Queer Eye." Beyond the artistry required in his work as a stylist, Jonathan has been on stage as a comedian for years. His web series "Gay of Thrones," a weekly comedic recap of HBO's "Game of Thrones," where he starred as none other than an opinionated hairstylist, was a hit for Funny or Die. He is also the host of his very own podcast, "Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness." And in addition to all of that, he is also a New York Times Best Selling author.
