CNN’s “My Happy Place” continues its globe-trotting journey this Sunday, landing on the sun-kissed shores of Mykonos, Greece. But this isn’t just another travelogue; it’s a deeply personal exploration of place and identity through the eyes of the Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award-winning Billy Porter.
Mykonos holds a unique significance for Porter. It was here, while working on a cruise ship, that he first experienced a sense of liberation unlike any he had known before. The island became synonymous with freedom, a place where he felt a true sense of belonging, a feeling that had often eluded him elsewhere. Now, he returns to Mykonos to reflect on the island’s impact on his life, then and now.
“My Happy Place,” with its roster of high-profile hosts (including Alan Cumming, Taraji P. Henson, and Simu Liu), distinguishes itself by going beyond the typical travel show fare. Each episode provides a look into a place that resonates deeply with its host, giving us a chance to see both the person and the place in a new light.
Join Billy Porter as he revisits the island where he found himself, airing Sunday, May 18th at 10:00 PM ET on CNN.
