After Ellen DeGeneres spoofed a spinoff show starring Nick the Gardener (and his abs), the world got excited. He landed a part in Magic Mike XXL and, since she mentioned the faux show would air on Logo TV, the team there recruited Billy Reilich (the actor and model's real name) to be the trophy boy for this year's New Now Next Awards.
The TV event is being taped this week in Miami and premieres on the network Dec. 7 at 8 p.m. ET.
Not only will people be tuning in for Billy's abs, the even will be hosted by Glee's Darren Criss. Plus Cyndi Lauper is the narrator of the event. The list of celebrities present will include Joe Jonas, Looking stars Raul Castillo and Frankie J. Alvarez, Orange is the New Black stars Danielle Brooks and Lorraine Toussaint, as well as Tyler Oakley and Lance Bass. And don't forget the live performances by Betty Who, Jessie J, and Kristin Chenoweth.
In the meantime, content yourself with this...
