THE NEW NORMAL: Ali Adler and John Stamos Preview ‘Gaydar’

John Stamos makes his debut on THE NEW NORMAL in tonight’s brand new episode, he brings a whole new complication to the show — just how reliable is “gaydar”?

“[Tonight’s episode is] about the preconceived notions we have about how someone acts or looks gay, and that the new normal is we really don’t have any clue and neither do our gay people in the show have a fair clue,” THE NEW NORMAL executive producer Ali Adler told reporters during a winter press tour set visit. “We’re all just completely at a loss. Everyone is just who they are and that’s the exploration for next week.”

“Gaydar is about what — that gaydar doesn’t work anymore,” Adler added. “That however we set it to in the ’90s and the ’80s and whatever, it’s just not working anymore in this millennium.  And we can go, ‘He’s a florist; he’s gay.’ Well, those notions are going to hang us ultimately, and I think that’s what we explore with John[‘s character] and [fellow guest star] Mark Consuelos as well.”
