Hi everybody.. My name is Butch Cordora and I host a local gay TV talk show for the last 8 years now called "In Bed w/Butch". Back in the '90's when I thought I wanted to become an actor, I was feeling restless, not particularly content w/my career choices and began to search for a more rewarding field in the entertainment industry. I knew I wanted to be in front of the camera, on stage/TV/film etc.. but I just couldn't figure out how.. and then it came to me one day.. I thought I would make a much better "me", than any character I played, so my journey began back in 1998 to try and execute my own TV show. Well, fast forward 8 years and I am now seen on 2 different channels in the tri-state area (DUTV and WYBE) The signal reaches as far north as Princeton/New Brunswick, as far south as Rehobeth Beach, as far east as South Jersey (all southern shore points) and as far west as Reading/Lancaster.. Over the years I've gone thru a lot of growing pains, the show started off being a campy, silly, over the top, entertainment based program w/me interviewing local gays in a big ornate bed.. but then it started growing in popularity and I found myself tackling more serious topics (problems w/the gay community, drug addiction, etc..) Not to mention I moved studios 3 times in my 8 seasons, had different bosses and at one point was up against 2 other local gay TV shows.. But these days I feel like I've settled in to my own, riding the tide, outlasting the other 2 shows. and now, once again being the only gay TV show in the Phila/NJ/Del area, I certainly have adjusted and found my voice. Now-a-days my show is a combination of fun and fabulous, serious and thoughtful, as I try to be every "thing" to every LGBT person. I like to consider myself more of an "Oprah" style talk show host these days, as opposed to, say, a Rosie or Ellen talk show.. I truly feel that I have finally found my calling in life and hope to host "In Bed w/Butch" for many, many years to come! Butch Cordora
