Adorkable Alert!: 10 nerdilicious nominees for the AfterElton.com Hot 100

by
snicks

Jim Parsons, Jonathan Capehart, Trent Dawson

As a change of pace from the boring lists of obvious hunks , we thought we'd present some contenders for the AfterElton.com Hot 100 that may not have crossed your minds.

These picks may be less conventional (read: more glasses, pocket protectors, IQ points) but no less deserving of consideration ...

Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki

Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki star in The Big Bang Theory on CBS, and make me wish I had joined AV Squad in high school.

Jonathan Capehart

The out Washington Post reporter is a frequent contributor to MSNBC, and his big fancy words like "partisan" always impress me.

Daniel Eric Gold

Daniel plays Ugly Betty's latest nerdy boy-toy (she's used up quite a few). Hopefully he'll stick around awhile.

Nate Silver

I have an equation for everyone's favorite number cruncher: me - you = blue.

John Oliver

Definitely my favorite British faux Daily Show reporter.

Jameel Jaffer

Jameel is another MSNBC smartypants who's also a lawyer for the ACLU. I'm going to refrain from any "briefs" jokes.

Trent Dawson

Trent plays the hapless Henry on As The World Turns, and wields a mean Pepperkakker.

Garnon Davies

The out Garnon stars as the perpetually knit-capped Elliot on Brit soap Hollyoaks. Does he ever wear baseball caps?

Luke Adams

Luke is the loveable (well, for now anyway!) out deaf contestant on the current Amazing Race. His close relationship with his mom makes him even more endearing.

These are just a few suggestions you may not have thought of. Who are your favorite adorkable guys of the year?

    There isn't a bigger gay nerd alive.

    PS - About Luke...I love Luke. Cute, gay, deaf, family oriented...what's not to love?

    I love that you included the adorkable nerds of Big Bang Theory - the most watchable sitcom on TV these days.  I may snicker, but I seldom guffaw, except Monday nights at 8pm, and these guys, particularly Sheldon, have me braying like a donkey.  Funny is SO sexy.

    I obviously have a thing for adorkable - I love all the guys on the list. You know what they say about guys with big brains, they have big...

    This show is my guilty pleasure -- I admit I was staring at the article on Parsons in TV Guide like a 13 year old girl reading 16 Magazine! His explanation about how he became an actor is priceless: "I played the Kolokolo Bird (in "The Elephant Child"). My mother made a feathered breastplate and I wore yellow tights"! His faves are Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, "American Idol," and doing the New York Times crossword puzzle. What's not to love?

    No discussion of adorkable hotties is complete without mention of the geektastic beauty that is Justin Bartha.

    I suspect Anderson Cooper of being nerdy when off camera, way too career driven and deeply closeted.

    And that Bon Vivant nerdy Michael Urie as  Mark on UGLY BETTY

     And dare you leave out the all admonishing Tim Gunn who has made it work from college professor to reality star.

    That's all I am saying...

    How 'bout some geeks from the soon to be rebranded SyFy

    Before the "Big Bang Theory" there was "Eureka" and the most adorkable guy in sci-fi. I'm talking about Fargo who is played by Neil Grayston.

    Then when it comes to just down right sexiness, there's Zane who is played by Niall Matter.

    Either one of them would be a good addition to the list.

    He's been kind of a brat since day one. And Mom's raised him to be a budding deaf Norman Bates.

    Can't wait to see the whole story about his altercations with Jen & LaKisha.

    Trent Dawson can pepperkacker me all night long...

    P.S. Is it worth giving a shout out to Ben Browder from Farscape?  He's not anywhere near a geek or dork, but the show was greek-tastic beyond belief!

    Doug Luzader. He is another silver fox and happens to be a Washington correspondent for Fox News. So a yeah and boo there. But everytime he is on my local morning Fox news show I can't take my eyes off of him.

    Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki

    For different reasons, they both come up as big Mo's -- always thought Johnny was A-dorable, from his debut on "Roseanne"; he's matured into an even cuter, hotter young man.

    Just saw Jim Parsons on Letterman and, the 'eye-rolls' alone set off the GayDar.  That also came across on his appearance last month on "Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson".  Jim comes across as a guy who found being 'unusual' could also be funny; probably a defense mechanism from younger days.  Either way, they both are hilarious in "Big Bang Theory".  Can anyone arrange for naked pix of them??? <g> without the multiple layers of 'nerd protective' clothes that are their costumes on the show.
