Born in Illinois, the 34-year-old’s new show, which is based on the podcast, Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness, Ness will try new things from skating at an ice rink, tasting bugs, trying on wigs, and playing dress-up to expand his horizon.

In the trailer for the show, the comedian says:

“Hi, I am Jonathan. I got burning questions and I need answers. Why is hair so major? Am I dependent on snacks? Are bugs gorgeous or gross? I am going to be embarking on a new journey of learning more ... of opening my mind, learning new perspectives. This is a huge universe to explore and to learn about.”
