In each episode, two straight-identifying contestants go head-to-head with a celebrity “life partner” as they face a series of physical and mental challenges. The winner of each round is given the tongue-in-cheek title of “Queen of the Straights.”[1]
The show was created, written and is hosted by comedians Dave Mizzoni and Matt Rogers.[2][3]
In June 2020, it was announced the series was renewed for a second season.[4] The future of the series is currently unknown due to the announcement of Quibi's shutdown in October 2020.[5]
Vonzell Solomon sings the show's theme song as well as the transitions in between rounds.
