Frank DeCaro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank DeCaro (born November 6, 1962) is an American writer and performer.
The New York-born DeCaro is one of the first openly gay humor columnists writing for a major American daily newspaper, Newsday, and the author of A Boy Named Phyllis: A Suburban Memoir (Viking 1996). He came into the public eye as a featured recurring player on The Daily Show, doing movie reviews with an over-the-top gay sensibility from 1996 to 2003. During those years, he co-wrote and hosted five Oscar preview specials for Comedy Central. He also served as a panelist on a short lived version of the classic TV game show, I've Got a Secret, on GSN.
A journalist whose DVD reviews appear frequently in the New York Times Arts & Leisure section, DeCaro for several years wrote the funny-but-chic "Style Over Substance" column for that paper. His writing has appeared in myriad publications including The New York Times Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, Vogue and Martha Stewart Living. In addition, he is the author of the coffee table biography Unmistakably Mackie: The Fashion and Fantasy of Bob Mackie (Universe, 1999).
As of 2006 he hosts a live daily radio show for SIRIUS OutQ. His many TV appearances include NBC's Dateline, CNN's Showbiz Tonight and various programs for the Logo network.
