The Couple Behind the GLAAD Media Awards
Record breaking temperatures of 119 degrees at their home in Palm Springs may have them sweating, but Daniel Vaillancourt and David
A. Lee may have also broken a sweat a time or two as the writers of the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, which air Friday at 7 pm ET/PT on Bravo.
Featured in the new issue of The Bottom Line Magazine (the story can currently be viewed here), the longtime couple both professionally and personally reveal the process they went through to script the Media Awards in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and how they are looking forward to the Bravo telecast -- an edit of the LA and NY events -- to see what makes it to television.
“We’re as excited as anyone, because we haven’t seen it!” Daniel told The Bottom Line. “People have asked us if we’re going to be having a screening party, and we’re like, ‘No, we don’t want to be distracted. We just want to watch it, because there were so many good moments in both shows—in all three shows—that it’s going to be a surprise to us to see what made it into the broadcast.”
One of their favorite parts of working on the Media Awards was working with Candis Cayne (Dirty Sexy Money), who hosted the San Francisco awards. “She was our host in San Francisco, so we had to build a whole show for her, and while that’s not going to be in the broadcast
it was a delight to work so closely with her and to become her friend," Daniel said.
"We worked hard to make her shine, because she really was the ringmaster
at that show.”
