Host

Natalie O'Sullivan

Natalie O’Sullivan (A.K.A. Natty Ice) was born at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, Massachusetts and raised in nearby Randolph, nearly graduating in the top fifty percent of her class. Her teen years at Randolph High weren’t just marked by vandalism, binge drinking, and “experimentation,” she was also intermittently involved in drama club. Unfortunately Natalie (known as “Sully” by her peers) was kicked out of the senior production of “Hair” for disrobing onstage opening night, even after repeated warnings that any such behavior would be grounds for expulsion. She was quoted in the school paper as saying “…any stagin’ of “Hair” without the tits and ass was an insult to the art form…” after it was announced she was ineligible to ever perform at Randolph High again.

After graduating she enrolled at Barbizon Beauty College (later known as Blaine) to get her degree in cosmetology. This career choice was cut short, however, when a hearing in front of a disciplinary committee (being held for Natalie’s apparent negligence while bleaching a student’s hair, leaving the student with a patchy, disfigured scalp) erupted into violence. Natalie was detained after injuring faculty with a thrown chair, as well as objects she had also thrown that she had found in her pocket.

Throughout her twenties, she bounced around from job to job, and while working as a colonial tour guide along the Freedom Trail in downtown Boston, she jumped at the chance to audition for Get Out! Of The Closet! After finding out she’d been chosen, she told local reporters, “I always knew that I belonged in front of the camera, and now America gets to f------ find out why!”

Executive Producer

Barry Gordon-Lightfoot

Barry Gordon-Lightfoot (Executive Producer) didn’t begin his career in show business, but rather in the adjacent field of psychopharmacology. Not wanting to go into the family business (his father owned a piano-moving company), he received his degree from Tufts University in an undisclosed field of study. Soon after, he suffered the traumatic loss of his father, who died tragically in a piano-moving-related incident.

This led to an exciting career in grief-counseling, helping countless people for over a decade, and possibly more (based on his spotty record-keeping of “comment cards”). Mr. Gordon-Lightfoot worked as a counselor (though never fully licensed) in many capacities all over the community, and when a frivolous lawsuit threatened his very livelihood, he decided to turn his focus to another field altogether: television!

He founded B & G & Lightfoot Productions and took on Get Out! Of The Closet! as his production company’s first venture. At the press conference unveiling the first episode, he said “If I can’t help in the classroom, or the community center, or the bus depot, or the bingo hall, I’m going to help in the box. Inside the box. The TV box….not sure how that quote will translate without my gesturing to the television that I’m pointing to, but….I’m pointing to THAT television. Yes, there. Right there. No. NO – BEHIND YOU!” before promptly nodding off, end quote.
