Dr. Pimple Popper Is Getting Her Own TV Show & I’m Already Grossed TF Out

Lets be honest — Dr. Pimple Popper is everyone’s guilty pleasure. As much as you sometimes hate to admit it, its impossible to look away from her gross-yet-fascinating pimple popping videos that usually make you feel fortunate that you only have those few pesky blackheads. 

Dr. Pimple Popper, otherwise known as Sandra Lee, is a dermatologist that has earned fame for her Youtube videos, that have amassed over three million subscribers. Zits being taboo are basically a thing of the past now, and if you’ve ever been tagged in a can’t-look-away zit video, you likely have Lee to thank. Her videos are so popular that she’s now officially graduated from her Youtube channel to television, with a TLC show appropriately named This Is Zit. 

Lee describes the show, which premiers on January 3, at 10 p.m. ET, as “behind-the-scenes footage of what I do in my office, how I go about doing it, more explanation of the types of things that I pop out, a lot of my favorite videos, a lot of my top pops… and three never before seen pops are there for you as well.”

Lee announced the premise of her first episode on Facebook, and if the short video above is any indication, it will be equal parts fascinating and gross. In the episode, Lee removes an epidermoid cyst, which is when the skin has “turned under and formed a little sac.” The end result looks like a “hard boiled egg,” that, if you couldn’t already guess, has to be popped.

If you can’t wait until the new year to indulge in some pimple popping goodness, you can check out Lee’s Instagram account, and be apart of the 2.6 million people who have no shame watching the grosser side of the human body. If Lee’s Instagram and Youtube channel subscribers are any indication, her new TV show is going to be huge
