The Cast of Queer Eye Takes a Lie Detector Test

[suspenseful music]

[Interviewer] Tan.

Yes.

[Interviewer] Bobby, Jonathan, Antoni, Karamo.

Today you'll be taking a lie detector test.

One of you will be hooked up to the lie detector,

and the others will be asking the questions.

And then you'll switch.

You will all have a chance to be in the hot seat,

so who would like to go first?

[Tan] Me.

[Antoni] I'll go first.

[Bobby] Tan.

[Antoni] I'll go second.

[computer sounds]

[suspenseful music]

Other hand, good.

[Jonathan] Is your name Tan France?

It is.

Are you the inventor of the french tuck?

I am not.

Are you ready to take this lie detector test?

I sure am.

[gavel pounding]

[Jonathan] You are the fashion expert of the group.

Is this correct?

It is.

So do you like everyone's outfits today?

Yes.

Do you like the lie detector operator's outfit?

No.

[laughing]

It's true.

And I would say it without this on.

[laughing]

Tan?

[Tan] Yes.

You wear a lot of designer labels these days,

would you agree?

I do.

When you were younger did you

ever buy knock off designer items?

No.

Hmmmmm. [tisks]

Be honest. Did you ever shop at T.J.Maxx,

T.K.Maxx as they say in the UK.

I did.

Tan.

Yes.

Why did you lie in your memoir

and say that you didn't understand why I was so attractive?

[laughs loudly]

Did I lie?

Back to the question.

I did not lie.

You once said that you would marry Shawn Mendes

in a heartbeat.

Is that still true?

Have you seen this?

Answer the question with a yes or a...

The answer is yes.

If I was single I would marry him.

Or I would make him my second husband.

Would you say he has better hair than you?

Yeah, a hundred percent.

Be honest. How many times have you watched

the Senorita music video?

Not once, I don't even know what that is.

I haven't heard that song.

You obviously don't like him very much then.

I don't know his music,

I know his face and his body.

[snickering]

Barry, how's Tan doing?

Very good.

I'm gonna make it more difficult.

[Tan] Go baby.

Off the script.

[slamming noise]

Tan?

Yes.

[Karamo] Is there anyone in the Fab Five

Yes.

[Karamo] that you don't love?

No. No, I have love for you all.

Okay I have one,

no I have one.

Have you ever wanted to bang me?

A few times.

You lied I can tell.

I didn't lie, right?

True.

Thank you.

Whoa.

I have never felt like happier

in my entire life to be honest.

[laughing]

That machine does not work.

[laughing]

You're from the UK, correct?

Correct.

Do you believe that Megan Markle and Kate Middleton

are actually feuding?

No. I think that that's the media trying

to create drama,

No I don't.

[Karamo] Hmmm.

That one felt a little shaky.

I can tell that that's [mumbles]

and you're a little liar on that one.

[giggling]

Tan, when you were younger,

is it fair to say you were more of a Harry

than a William fan?

Harry? Oh yeah.

Still to this day.

Harry'd get it.

Yeah.

I conclude the machine's broken 'cause

all those were lies.

[loudly laughing]

[gavel pounding]

Here we go.

[gavel pounding]

[Bobby] Is your name Antoni Porowski?

Yes.

Are you Canadian?

Yes.

Are you nervous?

No.

[Barry] Lie.

[very loud laughing]

Bitch. I thought we had something.

You do, the truth.

[Bobby] Antoni, are you the food

and wine expert?

Yes.

Is it true that you did not go to culinary school?

Yes.

Do you wish that you had?

No.

Do you think you are a better cook than this man?

Actually no.

Interest.

Wow.

You studied psychology in college, correct?

Yes it was a university.

So do you think you could do as good a job as Karamo

in dealing with people?

Yes.

Your restaurant...

[Antoni] Yes.

The Village Den, located at...

225 West 12th Street.

Located at 225 West 12th Street...

Good memory.

[Barry] That's true.

Is very health conscious

and you are gluten,

soy, corn, refined oil,

refined sugar and red meat free correct?

Yes.

[Karamo] Ohhh.

Be honest. Have you eaten

at a fast food chain restaurant in the last six months?

Yes. With you Tanny.

Yeah.

Do you truly prefer The Strokes to Madonna?

Yes.

Do you truly prefer The Strokes to Ariana Grande?

Yes.

All right.

Are you able to name four of their albums?

Is This It.

[Bobby] Just yes or no.

Oh yes.

[laughing]

Okay, hold on.

Another famous friend is Taylor Swift, correct?

Yes.

Is it true that you auditioned

to be in her Blank Space music video?

Yes.

Were you upset that you didn't land the role?

Yes.

Did you think you would have done a better job

than the man who got it?

No.

Oh. Yeah.

Be honest. Do you like the song You Need to Calm Down?

Yes.

Be honest. Do you really speak french

or is that just a lot of noises you're making?

[loudly laughing]

Can you imagine if it came out

that I actually don't speak french?

[laughing]

So funny.

All the French people in the world

have been keeping it a secret.

Here's the last question for your polygraph.

Are your nipples hard right now?

Hard as a rock.

Lie.

He's a truthful person.

[laughing]

Yeah, they're hard.

[Jonathan] See it's truthful.

Under your arms and down around your belly.

Okay good.

[muffled]

[gavel banging]

[Antoni] Is your name Karamo Brown?

Yes.

Have you ever taken a lie detector test before?

No.

Are you the culture expert on Queer Eye?

No.

Yes you are.

[giggling]

Was that a lie?

[banging]

[laughing]

He's gone rogue.

[gavel banging]

[Antoni] You were a social worker for almost ten years,

is that correct?

Twelve.

So no.

So do you think you have the highest E.Q. of

all the Fab Five?

No. I think Antoni does.

Do you think you have the highest I.Q. of

all the Fab five?

No. You're my answer for both Antoni.

[gasps]

You're the father of two boys is that correct?

Unfortunately yes.

I love the sprinkling of opinion with all of your answers.

[laughing]

It really takes it to the next level.

Would you consider yourself a cool dad?

No.

Have you ever used your fame to get your kids

to meet a celebrity they like?

No.

When your kids were younger,

would you have allowed any of us to babysit them?

[giggling]

Um, yes.

Not like any of us ever would.

Yes. See I didn't lie.

Can you confirm that you are in fact,

by the matter of at least a year,

in some cases five years,

the eldest of the cast?

[giggling]

Yes I am the eldest.

Okay. A lot of your statements on the show

make viewers cry.

Wouldn't you agree?

Yes.

Have you ever rewatched an episode of Queer Eye and cried?

No.

Liar.

You posted it on an Instastory.

That was a lie,

was it not?

Oh, because he's a cold-blood liar.

You literally posted it the other day.

Have you cried in the last 24 hours?

No.

I believe that.

[giggling]

Okay, if your fiancee proposed via a flashmob,

would you still have said yes?

No.

[giggling]

That's your fiancee in case you forgot.

I was gonna say.

[laughing]

I'm like no I don't.

Okay, if Ian insisted

on getting married whilst scuba diving,

would you still do it?

No.

[beep] Oh.

All these questions,

if he would have like ever done any of that stuff,

the answer's no we're not getting married.

Do you think The Bachelor is real?

No.

Do you think Queer Eye is real?

Yes.

[buzzing]

Let me know if anything's too tight.

[gavel banging]

Is your name Bobby James Berk.

Yes.

Are you six feet tall?

No.

Are you a vile queen?

Yes.

[gavel banging]

Bobby, you are the design expert,

is that correct?

Yes.

Oh [beep].

[laughing]

So would you say you're a better designer than these two?

Yes.

What about these two?

Yes. And that's only because they're not both designers.

One's a real estate agent and one's construction.

Have you ever thought that you work

the hardest during our hero makeovers?

Yes.

Girl she's delusional.

[laughing]

You were once the lead singer of a Christian rock band,

is this correct?

Yes.

I didn't know that.

So, you would say that you're the most musical

of the Fab Five?

Yes.

Can you sing me the lowest note that you can?

How is that a lie?

How is that a question?

Can you?

Just answer the...

[low humming]

Nice.

[banging]

Go Tan.

Okay, we all recently starred

in Taylor Swift's recent music video,

You Need to Calm Down, right?

Yes.

So would you say that you were the one who hit

it off with Taylor the best?

No.

Can you name three Taylor Swift songs,

and will you...

Shake it Off,

Calm Down

and Thirteen.

I don't think Thirteen...

I was thirteen,

or I was only thirteen.

The answer is no.

Fifteen, thirteen.

The answer is no he lied.

[laughing]

Antoni once said you're the one that he would ask

to borrow money from if he had to.

So does that mean you're the wealthiest

of the Fab Five?

I have no idea.

Can I borrow a hundred dollars?

Yes.

Now that's a lie.

[laughing]

I was like,

I feel a little burned with money right now.

So maybe not.

Did you ever invest in Bitcoin.

No, what's that?

I'm surprised.

You like it to be on the...

It's too volatile.

You're husband's name is Dewey Do, right?

You aren't pronouncing it correctly.

Do. Dewey Do.

His name's, I know. Oh. Trivia [beep] question.

I'm not an idiot. Oh.

Oh.

In the moment of frustration,

have you ever yelled Dewey don't?

[laughing]

No.

That was really funny.

That's a LOL.

No you Dewey didn't.

[laughing]

[Bobby] No, but I definitely will.

And did you lie at any point in this lie detector test?

No.

I believed it. Okay.

[gavel banging]

Good.

[gavel banging]

Is your name Jonathan Van Ness?

Yes.

Wonderful. Are you nervous at all darling?

A little.

Okay. Have you ever considered yourself a vile queen?

No.

And do you think you're the prettiest of the bunch?

Yes.

[laughing]

[gavel banging]

Jonathan, you're the grooming expert on Queer Eye,

is that correct?

Yes.

Do you think any of us need a hair makeover?

No.

Lie.

What?

[laughing]

I don't.

I know that smile.

[laughing]

Maybe the answers to the all the first ones were lies,

and now this one's the truth.

[laughing]

Okay, okay.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Do you think anyone besides yourself

can pull off your hair?

Yeah.

Within the Fab Five.

Yes.

Okay, wonderful.

You're nervous.

He sure is.

[laughing]

He sure is.

What about your mustache?

Could any of us pull off your mustache?

[Bobby] He had a mustache until like a week ago.

Yes, but I wouldn't wish that on any of you.

[laughing]

If you had to cut your hair,

would you choose this look over this?

I would choose the second one. Yeah.

Does being the grooming expert mean you're

the cleanest of the Fab Five?

[laughing]

No.

What about best smelling,

are you the best smelling?

No.

[laughing]

You are very politically active

on your social media, right?

Yes.

So would you say you're

the most politically aware of all of us?

Yes. I would.

Do you think there

are any good Democratic candidates in 2020.

I do.

Would you be a good candidate one day?

Mmm, yeah. Not for president,

but for something.

[laughing]

Would you consider yourself savvy

in the world of pop culture?

Kind of.

Did you watch Karamo's season of The Real World?

I didn't.

Okay.

[slamming]

[giggling]

Back in the day,

is it fair to say you were team Jennifer Aniston

over team Angelina Jolie?

Oh, yes. Absolutely.

I guess I wanna have a follow up as to why?

It's not really a yes or a no.

Because I just,

that whole Mr. and Mrs. Smith movie,

that never sat right to me.

And I know it didn't to you either.

You know, I would never let my husband

go film with Miss Angelina Jolie

[laughing]

for four months to do a rom-com ever.

Over my dead body.

Question. This is big

in bold letters on my piece of paper.

Are you most attracted to Karamo Brown

out of the Fab Five?

No.

[screaming]

[laughing]

Again, I'm out.

Done.

I guess I fooled it because I am,

but I just wanted [mumbles].

So why didn't I catch that?

Because you were lying.

I didn't wanna hurt my husband, it's hard.

All right Jonathan, you're quite the expert yogi,

would you agree?

I think I'm better in my knowledge space.

Is there any one of the Fab Five who you think

needs a little more zen in their life?

Yes.

Be honest. Do you have a namaste in bed shirt at home?

Totally.

[laughing]

Did you lie at any point during this interview?

Yes. I did.
