"Groomer Has It": Jai Rodriguez goes from grooming men to grooming dogs

 

If you haven't seen the promos for the new Animal Planet reality show Groomer Has It, you're really missing out.

For one, when's the last time you saw an ad for a reality competition where lines like "when he sniffed his butt I thought it was kind of unprofessional" come in to play? (Aside from Playing It Straight, of course.) And the sight of a grown man crying because he was asked to cut a large dog's hair in 90 minutes is a sobering reminder that no, my life is really not that bad, after all.

For another, this show reveals exactly what it was that nebulously-titled "Culture Vulture" Jai Rodriguez was doing on Queer Eye all those years: he was wrangling groomers! It's good to see another project come along that requires that exact skill set.

And lastly (although seriously, I could go on for hours about this clip), the show looks like thirty-one flavors of pure crazy. I'm going to watch it religiously, and I don't even have a dog.

And no, this is NOT an April Fool's joke. (We're not nearly that clever.) The show premieres on April 12th and we'll be there with little pink bows on ... check out the trailer below!

Dog grooming

I can't believe it. I must be out of my mind because no rational being would have created this. Lord save us. The end of Animal Planet for me. . .oh no!
