ImageManiaTV.com , the world’s first internet television network, has signed a deal to pick up episodes of the wacky and controversial Jack E. Jett show, The Queer Edge, which is currently airing internationally on Canada’s OUTtv and Australia and New Zealand’s Select-TV networks. Showing on ManiaTV.com’s live network, M-F at 1am EST, The Queer Edge promises to be a zany, sexy, comedy show filled with visually stimulating segments and outrageous guests.

Jack E. Jett’s The Queer Edge will follow two of ManiaTV’s top rated late night shows, Tom Green Live and Wassup according to VP of Programming Richard Ayoub, whose goal is to pack the late night hours with celebrities and comics who attract tens of thousands of viewers.

Jack E. Jett, the award-winning television producer and former host of the popular syndicated reality program Cheaters will have guests ranging from dwarf strippers to Sandra Bernhardt to fire manipulators to cult heroes to cross dressers who sell Tupperware. In an effort to show that the word "queer" is more that just a term for gays, host Jett plans to introducs viewers to personalities on the cutting edge. “We’re not going after Gwyneth Paltrow or those actory types,” he explained from his production offices in Dallas, Texas. “We prefer to interview the eccentric, bizarre, kooky, ‘queer’ people.”

ManiaTV currently delivers pop-culture entertainment programming more than 5 million viewers each month. The innovative new company which was started in 2004, is also quietly introducing a viewer produced and directed, free personalized internet TV service that will allow our viewers to create their own TV channel using their material or ours and embed it on their myspace, home page etc.

“We are seeing exponential growth in viewers during our evening and late night programming. The youth and young adult markets are clearly exchanging their remotes for their keyboards but remain interested in great TV entertainment, " said ManiaTV CMO, Peter Clemente. "With the addition of Jack E. Jett following Tom Green and Johnny School Bus, we are securely positioned as the leading destination for those who want to watch premium television programming and interact with their favorite shows online. What we're offering is truly an immersive entertainment experience viewers won't find anywhere else on the planet."

Comedian Sandra Bernhard was on hand to co-host the 2-hour special Halloween debut of the show which also featured James St. James and Omarosa from The Apprentice and she will be on hand again tonight when gay couple du jour Reichen Lemkuhl and Lance Bass appear on the show alongside lesbian sister act, the Wau Wau sisters. Also look for Living Single actress and comedienne Kim Coles to co-host future episodes of the show that will feature guests that will include, among others, actor Alan Cumming, playwright Del Shores, ‘Survivor’ Jeri Manthey, Tony Award Winner Marisa Janet Winokur and the ubiquitous, Bobby Trendy.
