Bobby Berk on saying goodbye and starting anew

Bobby Berk, well-known as Queer Eye's interior design wizard, has opened up about bidding farewell and stepping onto a new path with his upcoming show.

A fond farewell: Wrapping up Queer Eye

Netflix's Queer Eye, a heartwarming reboot that took inspiration from Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, has charmed viewers with its transformative stories and a big dose inclusivity. We've all fallen in love with how Jonathan Van Ness, Antoni Porowski, Karamo Brown, Tan France, and Bobby Berk changed lives over ten remarkable seasons and a special jaunt in Japan. Now, it all wraps up in Washington, D.C. with its tenth and final season.

After eight seasons, Bobby took a step back, passing his torch briefly and graciously. We haven't heard much from him about all this until now.

Grateful reflections on Queer Eye

Bobby shared some heartfelt thoughts with Us Weekly, expressing gratitude over being part and parcel of one Netflix's longest original series. “We had such an amazing run,” he mused, “Technically, with Japan, we did 11 seasons, making it Netflix's longest-running original. Being part was phenomenal, and I can't wait.”

Queer Eye's legacy lies in its stories and transformations that resonated deeply with viewers around the globe.

New horizons: Enter Junk or Jackpot?

A day post Queer Eye's final season news, Berk spilled details about his upcoming HGTV series, Junk or Jackpot?. The timing surprised many, but Bobby cleared it up in an interview with People.

“I swear on my mom's life, my show announcement date was set,” Bobby explained, laughing, "I mean, show announcements aren't last minute." Bobby quipped about Netflix giving him some notice. "I was on eight seasons!"

Even Karamo Brown poked fun, asking, “Girl, a day after?” With a laugh, Bobby assured him it was already in motion.

The enduring impact: Queer Eye's legacy

Queer Eye's final chapter ends an era in reality television. Known best for its compassionate narratives and life-altering makeovers, leaving an indelible mark on its audience.

It revamped Queer Eye For The Straight Guy from 2003, complete with personalities like Carson Kressley, widening its lenses and connecting with broader audiences.

Don't worry—Seasons 1 through 9 remain available on Netflix so you can relive your favorite moments all over again.

Bobby Berk's fresh adventure

As Queer Eye bows out, Bobby Berk leaps excitedly toward Junk or Jackpot?, ready to invite us once more into a creative and design-centric realm, promising more passion and inspiration.
