"Johnson's first national exposure came in 1994 when he was chosen as co-host for ''Extra'', an entertainment-magazine show. Extra demoted Johnson to on-air correspondent shortly after he came out as homosexual in the gay press..." (''Ben Patrick Johnson'', Wikipedia). He wrote a book ''In and Out in Hollywood'' about this experience, which you can see [http://bpjclients.com/inandoutinhollywood/index.html here]. His book published by Palari Books, appears on their website [http://www.palaribooks.com/details.asp?id=1 here]. The book has been lightly fictionalized but appears to be fairly-well based on his own personal experience with Extra. | "Johnson's first national exposure came in 1994 when he was chosen as co-host for ''Extra'', an entertainment-magazine show.

He interviews his dad, Charles Johnson, about his resistance: the hows and whys and what-happened-nexts. I had no idea video blogs were this polished. It looks like some sort of cable news segment." | ||
