Iconic n comedy Kath & Kim has found a new audience in the US thanks to the hosts of a popular web series, I Like To Watch.

Hosted by drag queens Trixie Mattel and Katya, each half-hour episode of the show is devoted entirely to discussing various shows streaming on Netflix.

Both Trixie and Katya have never seen Kath & Kim, but Trixie believed some of the show’s unique vernacular could be familiar to American LGBTQI+ people. 

‘You might know as a gay American person, there might be pieces of this that you’re like: “I’ve heard people say that, and I never knew where it was from”.’ 

Within minutes of their deep dive, both hosts were instantly converted to Kath & Kim fans. 

A clip showing Kath (played by Jane Tuner) working out on a treadmill in colourful ’80s aerobics gear was met with giggles from the hosts.

‘Mama you need yo get yourself into the exquisite stylings of Ms Fashion Puss over here,’ Katya said.

Trixie agreed, adding: ‘Oh the white visible bra, the flat butt, it’s everything.’

The pair were also quite taken with Kath’s husband Kel (played by Glenn Robbins), calling his unique sense of style ‘fierce.’

‘Oh my God, nice short robe,’ Trixie said as they watched Kel enter the kitchen for breakfast in a fetching mission brown dressing gown.

‘Love the hair, love the muttonchop,’ Trixie added. ‘That’s so fierce.’

It wasn’t too long into the episode before Trixie realised that the Aussie sit-com could become a must-watch.
