DC Cowboys look toward reality show after ‘America’s Got Talent’ experience [video]

”I kept telling the guys we wouldn’t make it, but told them to have fun…. The process was exciting, but it was time consuming and a roller-coaster for our emotions…. William [Knight] thinks the show would be great fun. I mean, what’s more drama than 20 gay men?”

Kevin Platte, founder and artistic director of the DC Cowboys, reflecting on their experience on the TV competition show, ”America’s Got Talent.” Platte says he is now working with TV producer William Knight to develop a reality show based on the Washington-based gay dance troupe’s performances and tours.
