LOS ANGELES—Robby Lewis, the author, screenwriter and Luxxxe Studios insider, will return to host the annual Grabby Awards Show America on May 24 at the Metro Theater in Chicago.
“Last year I met so many fantastic people and had a blast doing the red carpet," Lewis said. "I’m honored the Grabby Awards Show would have me back and look forward to another memorable event."
Lewis has written for Noir Male and Icon Male. He also has two book series out through Four Horsemen Publications—the recently completed spicy romance Someone Series under Robert Lewis, and the ongoing LGBTQIA2S superhero Shadow Guardian series under Robert J. Lewis. Currently Lewis is writing for Luxxxe Studios, developing two new book series as well as an audio drama.
"Robert's unique brand of humor perfectly matches the atmosphere of the red carpet,” said Legends of Coralia co-author Morgan Moreau.
From Luxxxe Studios founder JD Daniels: "Words can't express right now how delighted I am that our Luxxxe Studios correspondent and reporter, Robby Lewis, is returning to do the 2025 Grabby Awards Red Carpet host. We are so proud of Robby for the Grabbys to have him back. It is quite an honor for us at Luxxxe studios to see that Robby is so loved well received and appreciated by not only the Grabbys but by the performers and the fans as well.”
Luxxxe Studios was founded in 2021 by multi-award-winning adult film performer, JD Daniels. It is now an independent multi-award-nominated company that specializes in luxury adult themed entertainment. Last year Luxxxe Studios was a presenting sponsor for 25th anniversary Grabbys celebration event in 2024 along with the founder/CEO of Just For Fans, Dominic Ford.
“I want take this opportunity to thank Grabbys executive producer Mr. Stacy Bridges and his team for help making this wonderful event for Robby to host the red carpet at this beloved event once again a reality for this year’s Grabbys gala," Daniels said. "I also want to thank the other sponsors that partnered up with me to help make the red carpet event happen. Mr. Christopher Thais, the president of JRL Charts and Mr. Scott Mahia, president and founder of SJAM Graphics. I have nothing but the upmost love, respect, and gratitude for both gentlemen."
JRLCharts.com has been a leader in LGBT B2B adult entertainment news for over 20 years.
"In a time when our industry is increasingly under attack by political forces, it is more important than ever that we stand united and support one another," Thais said. "The Grabbys are not just an awards show—they are a celebration of the incredible talent that sustains our community. From writers and directors to producers, performers, production companies, and distributors, each of you plays a vital role in keeping this industry alive and thriving."
Thais continued, "For over 20 years, JRL Charts has proudly stood with the gay adult entertainment industry. Our mission has always been to uplift, spotlight and defend this vibrant community—and we remain steadfast in that commitment. As we face the challenges ahead, we will continue to be a voice of support and celebration for decades to come. Together, we are stronger. Together, we endure."
SJAM Graphics was founded in the early 2000s, originally making its mark in the music industry by designing CD and album covers for recording artists.
"That chapter opened doors for me to broaden my creative horizons, leading to opportunities to design DVD covers for adult entertainment studios worldwide," Mahia remarked. "It’s been my greatest pleasure to be part of this incredible industry for nearly 20 years—an industry that has embraced my creativity, encouraged my sometimes wild artistic ideas, and even honored me with artwork award nominations.
"As time goes on, I continue to appreciate and enjoy the exciting projects this unique industry brings my way. I’m grateful to everyone—past, present, and future—who has supported and collaborated with me on this journey. Here’s to what’s next."
Mahia added, “Excited and grateful to be partnering with JRL Charts and Luxxxe Studios for the red carpet pre-show at this year’s Grabbys hosted by Luxxxe Studios correspondent Robby Lewis. It’s going to be an incredible night. Let’s make it unforgettable.”
Stacy Bridges, executive producer of the Grabby Awards Show America, agreed.
“Grabbys are excited to have Robby Lewis back again this year to host the red-carpet," Bridges said.
The 26th Grabby Awards America Show will take place live at 7 p.m. CST on Saturday, May 24 at Metro Theater, 3730 N. Clark St.
