Each half-hour episode of Don't Quit Your Gay Job featured Easton and Horlor competing to see who can be the most successful at stereotypically "gay" jobs. The first season of the show was broadcast in 2009 (6 episodes) and a second season in 2010 (7 episodes) started with a sports series (curling, hockey and professional wrestling) followed by a general set of careers.
In season 3, Horlor left the show, with Easton in the job solely as host. Tommy Dolanjski, under his stage name Tommy D, and Adam Rollins, took over the competition aspect of show, working on the gay jobs, with the winner of each episode awarded $500. In season 4, Robyn Daye Edwards took over hosting duties, while the cash award per job was increased to $1,000.
