Antoni Porowski pivots from Queer Eye drama to globe-trotting storytelling in Best of the World
After a decade on Queer Eye, Antoni Porowski transitions to National Geographic’s Best of the World, traveling to Mexico City, London, Paris and New York to highlight cultures and food while foregrounding human stories. He addresses the show’s behind‑the‑scenes drama—Karamo Brown’s CBS Mornings exit amid bullying concerns and a Rolling Stone look at Jonathan Van Ness—emphasizing that the core message of Queer Eye remained authentic and should not be eclipsed by controversy. Porowski notes he’s still in touch with some cast members, admires Jeremiah Brent’s projects, and views this new format as a natural extension of his LGBTQ+ community focus and storytelling approach.
