Chippendales Is Still Bringing The Heat After All These Years
For nearly 50 years, “Chippendales” has been a household name, entertaining in a way only they can. While the men in the show may have changed throughout the years, the talent, the vibe, and the overall message remains the same.
The Vegas show has won the Best of Las Vegas gold award in the Best Male Revue Show category for 14 consecutive years proving that the show has stood the test of time. Chippendales has been a Vegas staple for more than two decades, and for the past year, has called Planet Hollywood home.
The Blast recently checked out the well-known and beloved show and chatted with two dancers — Jayson and Alejandro — about their time in the show.
The Host Of ‘Chippendales’ Loves Giving The Audience An ‘Experience’
For more than 9 years, Jayson has been a part of “Chippendales” in Las Vegas. As the host, he gets a unique experience with the audience night after night.
Before becoming a “Chippendales” dancer, Jayson worked as a dancer in Florida at Disney.
“My favorite part about being a ‘Chippendales’ dancer is, I would have to say, that we get the opportunity to travel across the US and internationally, as well as doing the show here in Vegas, and being able to give people the experience that they may never be able to see in their lives again,” he told The Blast exclusively. “For a lot of people, this is a once in a lifetime experience, whether we’re traveling to their state or country, so to put that show out there and see that audience reaction from it is kind of priceless. That is truthfully the bones of what it means to be a Chippendale, to enjoy the performance and that entertainment aspect of it.”
A Side Of ‘Chippendales’ The Audience Doesn’t Exactly Get To See
While the audience sees a lot (and we mean…a lot!) there are some aspects to putting on the show that they don’t exactly get to see.
“I think a side the audience never gets to see is that for me as the host, a lot of it is vocalizing, you’re portraying this character, they’re embracing this character from you and sometimes to have to put on that show can be physically and mentally exhausting,” Jayson shared. “So to be able to come home and take that all off and decompress and relax is definitely a side the audience doesn’t see. When we’re out on stage, we’re giving it our all, we’re giving it 110% so to be able to go back and strip that all away and go back to normal human Jayson is probably a side that the audience doesn’t get to see.”
When Jayson isn’t on the stage and just living his life, he’s still representing what being a “Chippendales” dancer is all about. He often gets recognized while he’s out and about in Vegas or at the airport.
“Even when you’re out, sometimes you’re still putting on this part and you’re going to be recognized,” he said. “It is a world-renowned brand that has been around for 45 years now, so to put on these cuffs and collars, it’s a staple and it comes with the territory knowing when you’re out in public, you probably will be noticed.”
Jayson Was Featured In Multiple Episodes Of ‘The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives’
If you’re an avid “Mormon Wives” fan, you already know Jayson. He was featured in a few episodes, as well as in Jen and Zac Affleck’s TikToks when they visited the show off camera.
“There’s been times when I’m in the airport and someone will say, ‘Wait, are you the ‘Chippendales’ from Mormon Wives?’” he said. “And I’m like, yeah that’s us.”
What keeps bringing him back to the stage night after night are the crowd interactions he gets to have. Every night is completely different from the last, so every show is unique.
“My job as the narrator, the storyteller of the show, is to bring people into our world, allow them to feel comfortable, allow them to be vulnerable and let their walls down to embrace the sexuality, the sensuality, the fun and excitement of our show,” Jayson told The Blast. “To see how those reactions change consistently through the night each night that we do the show is kind of amazing. Truthfully, that’s the heartwarming part of it to me that keeps me coming back because I love being able to say that I touched someone or left a lasting impression on someone through the show.”
‘Chippendales’ Dancer Alejandro Has Been Featured In Playgirl Twice
Alejandro, a fan favorite at “Chippendales,” has bared it all in Playgirl, not once, but twice. He was featured once in 2025 and again just recently. When asked what was going through his mind when he was approached to do the photo shoot, he said, “Let’s go.”
Alejandro has performed in multiple shows before landing on the “Chippendales” stage performing in a more sexual manner than previous shows.
“We don’t cross that line of it being dirty. We make it professional and make memories and fantasies that can go back home and say, you know what, we want to go back to ‘Chippendales’ again,” he told The Blast. “And that’s what I’m on the stage trying to do.”
The best part of the job for Alejandro? “Taking a shower on stage, half naked with real water,” he confidently said with a smirk on his face. (While he was not performing the night The Blast was at the show, we know exactly what he’s referring to and if you’re ever been to the show, we’re sure you do, too!)
He added, “We create new things and we perform and people love it when we’re on stage and that’s one of the things that I like.”
Misconceptions About Being A ‘Chippendales’ Dancer
As with anything, there are some misconceptions floating around about “Chippendales” and Alejandro wants to clear some of that up.
“Some think we’re just taking our clothes off on stage and we’re strippers,” he said. “We are performers. We perform and take our clothes off.”
Another thing some may think is that once the guys are off the stage, that’s the end of their job, but that’s not true at all.
“My job is 24/7. I’m in the gym like it’s my office because it goes hand in hand with what I do. It’s a lifestyle,” he told The Blast. “I’ve been working out since I was a teenager. I’m an athlete too. I play volleyball, baseball, football, so when it comes to working out and being active, that goes with what I do too. It’s good for my mind and my body.”
What’s next for someone who’s dominated the stage with “Chippendales” and the pages of Playgirl? He’s got some things in the works but he’s remaining tight-lipped about it at this time. But one thing’s for sure, Alejandro isn’t leaving the public eye. He plans to keep performing and modeling.
