Doug Danger is the television and entertainment reporter for the Orange County Courier. Having recently come out of the closet, Doug sees everything from "a gay man's perspective." he prefaces every third sentence with "as a gay man" or "as a gay journalist".
As a gay man Danger feels there are no good screen plays being done in Hollywood. Therefore, Doug has written five different screen plays. They are It's a Gay Life, The Homosexual, Boy Meets Boy, Gay Pride and Generation Queer. Unfortunately, Doug says he can't get any of them made in Hollywood because of all the homophobia. Doug feels these big-time Hollywood producers should embrace Doug's "gayosity". One caller pointed out that Doug was full of it because most of the industry is gay.
When Ann Hage and Ellen DeGeneres decided to leave Hollywood because of the homophobia, Doug weighed in with how right they were. As a gay man and gay journalist, he has seen all the homophobia in Hollywood. He said that neither Hage nor DeGeneres was getting jobs since they came out. Both gays and straights called in to Phil's Show to let Doug know he was crazy. Ann Hage has gotten more jobs since she came out.
Doug gave terrible reviews to the new Austin Powers film because he found no humor in the film except for the little person, Minime. Doug found him hilarious. Callers were shocked that Doug as a gay man and gay journalist would be so insensitive to little people whom Doug referred to as midgets and dwarfs. Doug could not see the incongruity of it all.
Doug is being sued for throwing a lit cigar out of his Rav 4 (the car preferred by gays, says Doug) and it went into a convertible behind him causing an accident. Doug felt he was only being sued because they knew he was gay since he was driving a Rav 4.
