Karamo Brown started his career in the early days of reality TV.
The Big Picture New fans may recognize Karamo Brown as Queer Eye's very own culture guru, but the television personality has been on the reality scene for quite some time. Born Karamo Karega Brown, the 42-year-old star had impressive television credits under his belt prior to his involvement as a lifestyle specialist in the award-winning queer-centered show. Besides appearing on TV in the early 2000s, Brown was also named the first openly gay Black man to ever be on a reality show.
Brown then made the decision to assume full custody of his son, Jason. He also adopted Chris, Jason's half-brother, a few years later. He ultimately made the decision to get his life together and leave behind his destructive lifestyle the moment he learned he was a father. And the rest, as they say, is history. While Brown was already a well-known personality even before his stint on an MTV show, his career took a significant leap when a sudden responsibility pushed him to better himself.
Getting a Second Chance on 'The Next :15' In 2016, Brown joined the cast of TV One's The Next: 15, which follows six former reality stars on their quest to reinvent themselves. Besides Brown, the cast members include Tiffany Pollard , Benzino , Claudia Jordan , Laura Govan , and Jennifer Williams . The show is intended to extend the careers of its contestants, who are considered famous for 15 minutes.
Solidifying His Status on 'Queer Eye' After hosting the 10-episode dating game series, 2018 was the time the world came to know him as the "culture expert." The wildly popular reboot of Queer Eye For The Straight Guy follows five professionals in their fields, known as the Fab 5, who are each assigned a task to help the "heroes" improve their lifestyle. The Fab 5 consists of Antoni Porowski, Bobby Berk, Jonathan Van Ness, and Tan France.
