RuPaul: Tonight...

in a four-part...

special event...

celebrities are making a total
Drag Race transformation

and competing for the title
of America's

next Celebrity Drag Race
superstar.

Welcome to RuPaul's Secret
Celebrity Drag Race

with this week's
Queen Supremes...

Think of them as drag mentors.

I want someone who can walk
in heels.

Walking in heels is like Hep-C.
You either got it or you ain't.

[laughter]

Oh, look, girl,
someone's on the TV.

-Who's it gonna be?
-Okay, who is that?

I'm being electrocuted.

-Ethan Hawke?
-Someone with muscles. Eminem.

Mama, that's Dwayne
"The Rock" Johnson.

[filtered]
I'm an actor,

but I'm also an author,
I'm an activist.

Rachel Maddow.
I call it right now.

I feel like I've been waiting
my entire life to be here.

Haley Joel Osment.
He sees dead people.

[laughs]

Oh, my God, here we go.
Round two.

Oh, my God.
Ellen Degeneres.

Oh, that's Michael Jordan.

No, that's
Michael B. Jordan.

[filtered]
I'm an actor

and I'm doing drag
for the first time

to show you can be
whoever you want to be.

Maybe it's John Cena.

Lindsay Lohan.

Lindsay Brohan.

[laughs]

Okay, we got one more, one more.
Last one.

Ooh, this one is short and tiny.

Oh, this is a teeny-weeny
little boy, girl.

-It's Gary Coleman.
-[laughs]

[filtered]
I am a standup comedian,

writer, actor.

-Larry David.
-Tiffany Haddish. Duh.

It's important
to step out of your skin

and do something
that's different.

Get out
of your damn comfort zone.

If it's someone black
and handsome? Is it me?

[laughing]

RuPaul: These stars will create
unique drag personas...

[gasps]
Oh, my God!

Compete in iconic Drag Race
challenges...

We're playing Snatch Game.
[cheering]

-Work the runway...
-Gorgeous!

And go head to head

in an epic
lip sync extravaganza.

Oh!

Tonight we crown
a winner, baby.

How fabulous is that?

Who will be America's next
Celebrity Drag Race superstar?

-Oh!
-Oh, my God.

RuPaul: Let's reveal
tonight's celebrity guests.

♪ Now sissy that walk ♪

[laughs]
Hi! My name is Nico Tortorella.

You may know me from a little
show called Younger,

but I'm also an author
and an activist.

My strategy to win is to give
you everything that I have.

I'm gonna fight.

The space between everything,

all of it is you.

All love, it is you.

I cannot believe
I'm here right now. Ah!

Being here
is like a dream come true.

Come on, werkroom.

Drag Race completely
changed my life

and opened up
my entire universe

to queer politics,
to queer expression.

Just a casual
grocery store zhuzh.

I first got into drag
about five years ago.

The second I did it,
I found freedom.

I found liberation.
And...

being able
to step into your true self

is like being free.

[laughs]

Oh, my God.

We ain't at Riverdale
anymore, baby.

Oh, that small little show.

My name is Jordan Connor.

I'm an actor
from the TV series Riverdale.

And I was a football star
in high school,

so I'm used to wearing pads.

What's up, buddy?

On TV, people see me
as a very, like, macho,

wanna-fight-you kind of guy.

This is crazy.

Coming from
a football background,

it's such a masculine energy,

and I never really was the
alpha male in those situations.

I just want to get people
to see the real me.

I'm here
to get all dolled up, man.

I mean, you're going to be
such a beautiful woman.

-Thank you very much.
-Look at this face.

I know. My fiancée said

that I was going to be,
like, very pretty.

This is completely different
from anything I've ever done

because
it's dressing up in drag,

and I'm very nervous
and I don't know what to expect.

Have you ever been
in a full drag moment before?

No, no. I've never worn
a dress before in my life.

Really?

And I've never walked in heels
before in my life.

Nico: Me either.

Don't lie. [laughs]

I'm about to put on a dress,

so fuck you.

[both laugh]

I'm Jermaine Fowler.

I am a standup comedian,
writer, and actor.

-Hello, hello, hello.
-What up?

I'm excited because
RuPaul's Drag Race

is all about
breaking through what's normal.

And, like
my mom always said,

the best way to learn
how to be yourself

is by doing something

that you wouldn't expect
that you would do.

Have you ever done drag before?

No, no. First time
I've ever done drag.

But I'm fucking stoked.

I am not nervous
to be a drag queen.

I feel very confident,
so, you know, Imma bring it.

I could not be more excited
to be here right now.

I'm pretty excited
to be here, too.

I'm super, super nervous

about like being funny,
being pretty, everything.

I feel like you're gonna be fine
with the pretty stuff.

You're going to be
the comedy queen.

We'll see.

No animosity yet,
but we're here to win.

They were shaking my hand,
but I know inside,

they were, like,
Imma slay this motherfucker.

I know what's up.

I ain't dumb.

[alarm]
Oh!

-Ooh, girl.
-It's happening!

She done already
done had herses.end of redo

Hey, squirrel friends.

Do you have a license to drag?

Well, pull up
to my bumper, baby,

and strap yourself in.

'Cause this is the beginning
of the ride of your life.

[all laugh]

So good luck...

and do tuck it up.

- Oh!
- Uh-oh.

Is that an order?
I can't believe we're here.

I can't believe this is real.

This is crazy.

Hello, hello, hello.

-Oh!
-Oh!

Nico: Hello, Mother.

Hello, darlings.

Nico, Jordan, and Jermaine,

welcome to Celebrity Drag Race.

Our mission is simple.

We want everyone to experience
the miracle of drag.

Doing drag
doesn't change who you are.

It actually reveals who you are.

So consider yourselves
cultural pioneers.

Or at least Drag Race lab rats.

[all laugh]

From quick drag
to mini challenge

to maxi challenge,
you'll be making a total

RuPaul's Drag Race
transformation.

And then you'll strut your stuff
on the main stage

in full drag, henny.

And in the end, you'll
lip sync for your charity.

And the winner will be crowned

America's next
Celebrity Drag Race superstar

and win $30.000
for the charity of their choice.

Wow.

#CelebDragRace.

But you won't be going
through this journey alone.

Meet your queen supremes.

Bob the Drag Queen.

[cheers and applause]

I didn't come to make friends.

I came to make cupcakes.

[all laugh]

Guess who's walking purse first
back into your hearts, America?

It's Bob the Drag Queen,

Season 8 top one.

Drag is the last
underground art form.

Even clowns have college.

But the only way
you can learn drag

is from another drag queen,

and I'm gonna
teach the children, honey.

Up next, Monét X-Change.

Looks like the exchange rate
just went up.

[all laugh]

I am Monét X Change,
your mother--

Oh, I can't say, mother--

I am Monét X Change,
your sponge empress,

and I'm here to soak
these girls in formation.

Yes!

She went blonde.

The color of a winner.

All Stars winner.

[all laugh]

And Trixie Mattel.

Enter werkroom, shift weight,
catchphrase, pose.

[all laugh]

Hi. My name's Trixie Mattel.

I am a champion
from All Stars 3.

I've learned from Drag Race
winning isn't everything,

but, bitch, it is something.

So I really want
to help my celebrity win.

Think of them as drag mentors.

They're here to help you.

-But not yet.
-Oh.

We want to see what you can do
on your own.

♪ Oh, Pit Crew ♪

[gasps]

See, Monét, this is called body.

[all laugh]

Now to kick things off,

you've got 20 minutes
to get into quick drag,

putting on any of these
building blocks of drag:

pads, breast plates,

to create a body-oddy-oddy.

Plus applying foundation
and wig caps.

Cock ring optional.

[all laugh]

[laughs]

Ru is making us do quick drag,

so we have to get into drag
as fast as possible.

Insane for the first day.
Absolutely crazy.

-Sound like fun?
-Whoo!

-Yeah, yeah, let's do it.
-All right.

Good. Let's go.

Grab those titties.

Big old titties.

Does it match?
Does it match?

You are on a time crunch.

Don't worry about
your chest matching.

Monét's doesn't match.
[all laugh]

You have to move
with some amount of haste here.

Which way do these pads go?

We're having them put on
some boobs and pads

and a little bit of foundation

because these are
the fundamentals

of making a drag queen.

Let me tell you a trick, Mary.

Turn the bra around,
hook it, and then spin it.

We're making drag queens,
not drag princesses.

Y'all better
pick up the pace, honey.

Bob: No, trust me, go ahead.

The whole face.
Cover your face.

It'll get in my eyes, though.

Do you want to win money
for charity

or do you want to have eyes?

I do.

Bob: No, once you're powdered,
don't put more cream on top.

You're making mud at this point.

Okay, how many wig caps
are you gonna put on?

You just need one, boo.

I don't know.
I don't know.

I had no idea
this was gonna be this crazy.

All right, ladies.
Brushes down, time's up.

That's 20?

I'm absolutely shocked
right now.end act

Well, hello, gorgeous.

Ain't drag glamorous?

[all laugh]

Jordan, how do you feel?

I feel very sexy.
Very sexy.

[all laugh]

My nipples are hard.

[all laugh]

Jermaine, how was
getting into quick drag?

-It was long.
-Quick drag was long?

[all laugh]

Yeah. It took a while.

[all laugh]

And what about you, Nico?

I feel thick.

Jermaine:
I like this part the most.

[all laugh]

All right, so now that
you've laid the foundation,

for today's mini challenge,

you'll be racing to
your very first drag gig.

Using this
eco-friendly race car,

you need to zoom
from wardrobe to hair and makeup

to heels
before you hit the stage

to perform my song
Jealous Of My Boogie.

Whoo!
[applause]

The mini challenge
is giving them a crash course

for what
they're going to be doing

for the rest
of this competition.

I think it's really important

because it allows you
to just live in the moment.

In the end,
the most sickening

and most
enter-tainting queen wins.

Full obstacle course
and a ball pit?

Stuntery. Full stuntery.

Welcome to the fast
and the curious.

On your mark, get set, go.

Put the stiletto to the metal.

Move that ass, bitch.

We movin'.

Bob: You forgot
to put your panties on.

Nico picks the skankiest

little, like,
just Hollywood Boulevard

$10 hooker dress.

Great choice.

Monét: Oh, a little
feathery moment.

You're shedding, girl. You look
like one of Trixie's wigs.

Oh, my God.

Monét: What dress?
What color? What color?

Trixie: Oh, something
with a zipper up the back.

-Good luck.
-[laughs]

Bob: Put the zipper
in the front.

Change fashion.

All right.

Trixie: Get in it.
Get in it.

RuPaul: It's like
we're at the Barneys sale.

Trixie: I can see your balls.

-There you go.
-All right.

Bob: Pick up those balls.

Trixie: Is that two in the pink
and one in the stink?

[all laugh]

Holy shit.

Jordan is huge,

so this dress made for,
like, a 14-year-old girl

is a bra.

Her pussy
is dragging on the floor.

Ma'am, your pussy hanging out.

Aah!

-All right.
-Put the tits back in.

You are a mess.

Excuse me, ma'am.
You dropped your titties.

[all laugh]

[all laugh]

That was definitely
a moving violation.

Monét: Oh, yes.

Trixie: Hulk Hogan
dressed as Brooke Hogan.

[Bob laughs]

Uh! Shit.

Bob: By the way, no one
does their wigs for us.

We forgot to tell you.

I'm committed, I'm committed.

[all laugh]

Monét: Put them tits back
under your arm, Miss Girl.

[laughs] Ladies and gentlemen,
Angela Bassett.

Angela Bassett-Hound.

[all laugh]

and slammed her pencil down

so we all know
that you were done first.

Monét: All right,
she's the lip sync assassin

[all laugh]

Ladies, y'all did real good,

but one of you
really drove me crazy.

Con-drag-ulations...

Jordan.

Oh!
[cheers and applause]

Oh, you didn't know
I had that Vogueing, huh?

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.

Yeah, bitch.

Now, Jordan, as your prize,

you get to pair
the queen supremes

with each contestant.

Each queen supreme
will be your drag mentor

every high-heeled step
of the way.

So choose carefully.

Who do you choose for yourself?

I'm gonna choose...

Trixie Mattel.

[applause]
Perfect.

Bob: First mistake.

[laughs]

And who do you choose
for Nico?

-Monét.
-Whoo!

Yes, sister!

And that means Jermaine

is paired
with Bob the Drag Queen.

-Let's go, Bob!
-Let's do this.

Racers, drag ain't for sissies.

You'll be competing in
the most iconic maxi challenge

in Drag Race herstory.

We're playing the Snatch Game.

[cheers and applause]

We are starting out
with a bang, girl.

Now, you need to pull out

your very best
celebrity impersonations.

Snatch Game is everyone's
favorite challenge.

If you bomb Snatch Game,

people will remember it forever.

And I say that
from personal experience.

Celebrities,
start your engines.

And may the best drag queen win.

I've never done anything
like Snatch Game.

Well, the good news is I am
a professional standup comedian.

Okay.

The bad news is,
I lost Snatch Game horribly.

Did you see me on Snatch Game?

-I did, I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Okay.

So if you had the idea
of doing RuPaul today,

please, don't do it.

It's not worth it.

You've won an uncomfortable
phone call to your ex

and a half eaten hotdog
from the back of my car.

Now available on iTunes.

Winner, winner,
chicken...dinner.

Remember everything I did,

and don't ever
do anything like that.

But what made you
want to do Drag Race?

Both my brother and sister
are gay, and so--

This is their Super Bowl.

Exactly. Really.
So they were like so excited.

So I'm kind of doing it
for them.

As, like, a straight male,

I don't necessarily
relate to drag

as much as maybe
my brother and sister do

and understanding
the empowerment that a man feels

when he dresses up in drag.

I think that doing drag for me

will really give me
a new experience

and a new viewpoint on drag
and the LGBTQ community, too.

What's your drag name
going to be?

Okay, my fiancée's
two childhood dogs' names

were Babykins and La Roux.

So Babykins La Roux.

[laughs]

That tells me
everything I need to know.

Hello, darlings.

I'm Babykins La Roux.
Fuck you.

[laughs]

Have you ever, like, done drag?

-No. Come on.
-Okay, okay. No, no, no, no.

I don't mean like putting on
some makeup and be beat.

I mean, do like, drag-zuh.

Body, hair, tits.

Nico: All of the zhuzh.

I identify as non-binary,

and I want to bring some, like,
non-binary drag to the table.

Not that I want to keep
my beard, because I don't.

Yeah, 'cause
we're shaving the beard.

Let me break it down
for y'all, okay?

Nico identifies as non-binary.

That means that Nico prefers
the pronouns "they" or "them."

And it is not being locked
into male or female.

It is just
letting yourself express

whatever that means to you.

Is there anything
that you're nervous about?

I want to make
an active decision

to purposefully not tuck
for the runway challenge.

Monét:
That makes me very nervous.

But some of the greatest women
that I know have penises.

This is true.
I'm not saying that they can't.

I'm just saying
it can go two ways.

It can be, like,
really fair to people.

Like, oh, my God,
you better work.

On the flip side, it could be,
like, bitch, absolutely not.

No. What are you doing?

I'm here representing
so much more than who I am.

The balance between masculine
and feminine energies

is something
that's so important to me,

and I think
that's why I'm here:

to, like, help propel
that narrative.

-I'm into it.
-Thank you.

-I'm into it.
-You're on the team.

Only so much
we're working with here,

and I'm gonna keep it out.

Now, have you thought
about names and things?

'Cause your name comes from

the true essence
of your character.

Olivette.

O-L-I-V-E-T-T-E.

Kind of like all of it?

Olivette Isyou.

And your character exists
in the non-binary.

-Yeah.
-I love it.

Bob: You know why this
is exciting to me?

Because we're both comedians.

Word. I, um...
You're hilarious.

Thank you.

Comedy in particular, it is
about breaking stereotypes

and being honest.

As a kid,
I didn't fit in a box.

It inspired me,
it motivates me to stay unique,

which got me to where I am now.

So you do any
celebrity impersonations?

I just started
kind of doing Will Smith.

It's just him just like...

[impersonating Will Smith]
Um...um...whoo!

But I'm still getting that down.

Obama's jazz,
like it's ba-boom-bah-bah.

Staccatos, you know.
He hits a rhythm.

Deliberate.

-And say America.
-Mm-hmm.

[imitating Barack Obama]
I was talking to Michelle.

So I do a Kevin Hart, man.

[imitating Kevin Hart]
Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Okay, people.
you know, that's Kev.

This little bite-size
chocolate M&M is so cute...

I think I look all right for
a comic, you know what I mean?

They're ugly.

[laughs]

I mean, this motherfucker
is funny.

Let me tell you why
you are lucky to have me.

I'm the only one here
who's won Snatch Game.

These two losers
lost Drag Race the first time,

and they had to come back
and compete again.

Ooh, the amount of shade
is amazing.

Monét X Change did

what I'm going to call the worst
Whitney Houston impersonation

in the history
of impersonations.

Oh.

Damn. Dropped my cigarette.

My Lord,
if I was a car, RuPaul,

I would be...

all the man that I need.

Thank you, RuPaul.

What are you saying over there?

Your Whitney Houston
was trash, mom.

Maya Angelou was sickening,
though.

But did you win?

Monét: Maya Angelou
was sickening.

But did you win?

Watching Bob and Monét argue

is like watching
two of the ugliest girls in town

fight over a tiara.

-[laughs]
-You know what I mean?

It's really more about
walking with intention.

-Okay, none of that.
-Oh, sorry.

Take your hands
out of your pockets.

Do you know what to do
with your hands?

Mm-mm.

A hand on the hip
is always nice.

A hand on both hips
works as well.

I think that if Jermaine

tapped into
some feminine energy

and fixed his posture,

these could all help
with the walk.

Listen, let's go grab
some shoes.

Would you guys like to have
a high-heel competition?

Bob: What do you know
about competing?

Whoo!

[Monét laughs]

Five, six, seven, eight.

All: Ka ka-ka-ka ka ka.

Bob: Oh, too much shoulder.

Too much shoulder.
Too much shoulder.

I've never walked
in heels before,

and I don't want
to break my ankles.

Trixie: Babykins La Roux.

Yes, sir.

Putting heels on
for the first time

is like trying to break in

a new pair of football cleats,

and all your toenails
fall off that day.

Monét: Nico.

-Aah!
-Oh!

Monét: Ka ka-ka-ka ow, ooh.

Trixie: From the legendary
house of too-much-ery.

Jordan and Jermaine, they're
both here to play the game,

but thank God neither one
of them can walk

in a goddamn pair of heels.

So we got that going for us.

Oh, yes!

Wow.

That was fierce.

Monét: I think we know
who's going to win.

I think Nico
knows the most about drag,

and that's pretty threatening.

I honestly don't think
I'm gonna take it

if I don't step my pussy up
immediately.

At this point,
I'm not exactly sure

what I signed up for.end act

-Oh!
-[laughs]

Monét: Okay,
so the Snatch Game,

what are we thinking
for your character?

Okay. Lucille Ball.

Lucille is hard.

I love a Snatch Game,
I hate a Snatch Game.

Snatch Game is the hardest
challenge on Drag Race ever.

Do you know a lot about Lucille?

I mean, I grew up
watching I Love Lucy,

and I feel like that's why

nobody's done it
for Snatch Game,

because it's such
an iconic character.

So what is an easy character
that you could do?

The first thought
that I had was Snooki.

Do what you do.
Do what you know.

That's just my advice.

I wish I would have done
Mimi.

Lucille's hard, but if I
do it right, it will go over.

Okay.

What makes for
a really good Snatch Game

is someone who has such
an over-the-top personality.

Jermaine: I'm thinking
about Whoopi Goldberg.

You mention Whoopi Goldberg.
You do know, too,

that someone famously
did Whoopi Goldberg, and...

Ooh, bitch,
you doing Whoopi Goldberg?

I don't know about that.

Well, um...

I don't know about all that.

Maybe you should do
someone really fun,

like Whitney Houston.

Whoo! [laughs]

Anyway.

So do you have other options

in case Whoopi
doesn't work out for you?

What about Joan--

-Joan Rivers?
-Yeah.

I think Joan
is a stronger choice

because she has
a bigger personality.

I don't know what to do.

Is it Whoopi or is it Joan?

Two lovely Jewish women.

I have no idea
who I want to impersonate.

What's your, like,
character idea?

I'm thinking of doing
Chrissy Teigen.

-Yes.
-So like that--

but that's--
I gotta figure it out.

Yeah.

I'm a little
self-conscious right now,

so I gotta figure it out.

Are you really?
You should be.

No! Get out of here!

Jordan is actually shrinking
as time goes by.

He is starting
to, like, feel the fear.

I see it happening to him,

and, like,
we can't go down that road.

Hey, celebrity squirrel friends!

-Hello!
-Hi!

In the walk-throughs,

you definitely want
to drop a joke or two

to see if Ru is responding.

Because if he ain't responding
to what you're doing,

change it up.

-Hi!
-Well, hi!

-Hello, Mother.
-Nico, you're here!

Can you believe that?

You were wishing for Monét.

-I was. I was.
-Why is that?

She's just kind of like
effortlessly funny.

Not like some other girls.

Monét: I don't try as hard.
[all laugh]

Well, I think
what makes Nico different

is that Nico is coming in
with a fully realized concept.

And Nico is like,
this is what I want.

I do wanna say that a lot of
times when you get into drag,

this other thing comes through

that you're not prepared for.

I play with gender all the time.

It's really a continuum.
It's infinite.

And this show
fully changed my life.

It allowed me to look at gender
and sexuality in a new way,

and it was full liberation
for me.

And it has led me
on my own journey.

I love it.
All right, what's your charity?

The Transgender Law Center.

They are fighting
on the front lines,

in the courts,
for the people,

for transgender
and gender-nonconforming people.

You know, legislation is
getting passed on a daily basis

that is not looking good
for all of us.

What I want really more than
anything is to raise awareness,

is to bring this voice

to mainstream
gender-variant media.

All right, so tell me,
who is your Snatch Game?

This was the first option.
It was Snooki.

-Full Snooki.
-Okay.

Do you wanna guess who this is?

Is that a fifties mom
or something?

It's Lucille.

It's Lucy Ball.

I really wanted
to step out my element

and into, like,
a real character piece.

So this'll be a first for me.

I love it.

All right, well, I can't wait
to see you out there.

Make me laugh.

I'm gonna full, like,
go home and have a full séance,

and I'm gonna summon Lucy
into my body.

[gasps]

Hello!

Hey, how you doing, Ru?

Trixie and Jordan.

So now on Riverdale,
is your character funny?

No, my character's very serious,
and he's probably, like,

the most serious character
on the show.

What is your drag name?

Babykins La Roux.

-Isn't that fierce?
-How fabulous is that?

I know!

You seem kind of
a reserved person.

Is Babykins La Roux
kind of out there?

Totally.
When I get on stage,

the side of me
that's very shy goes away.

So this allows you and your
secret self to just emerge

and let your wings open
to their full capacity.

You know?

-Yeah!
-Yes!

Yes!
That's what it's all about.

What's your charity?

My charity
is Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

My fiancée and I
do a lot of work with them,

because her father
passed away from the disease

when she was only six years old.

RuPaul: Oh, that's terrible.

Cystic fibrosis
is a really terrible disease,

and you have to live
a very uncomfortable life.

It's really important
to our family

to just bring that charity
to the forefront

and help them find a cure.

What are you doing?

I am doing Chrissy Teigen.

-Chrissy Teigen!
-Chrissy Teigen, yeah.

-That's perfect!
-Yeah.

Have you ever done her before?

I've never done her before, no.

-Uh-huh.
-Yeah, yeah.

What about
when you're at home alone?

[all laugh]

I can't wait
to see you out there.

Make me laugh.

Thank you, Ru, I will.

-See you, Trixie!
-Bye!

I think winning Drag Race

and giving this money
to Cystic Fibrosis Canada

would just make me very proud

to have done something
so out of the box and crazy,

and help a bunch of people
in need.

Hello, Jermaine.

How you doing?

-And Bob the Drag Queen.
-That's me!

How is it working out so far?

-Amazing.
-Oh, swimmingly.

Yeah? What's your drag name?

My drag name
is Miss Mimi Teapot.

Miss Mimi Teapot.

What's the meaning
behind that name?

Mimi was my mom's nickname,

and my mom passed away
about a year and a half ago.

-Oh.
-Yeah, but she here in spirit.

She was a lesbian, too,
so she watched the show.

-Really?
-Hell, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Growing up, my mom,
she thought for herself.

You know, black churches,
very homophobic, you know.

She inspired me
to just be my own person.

Talking about her in past tense
hurts so much.

It's very surreal,
thinking about it,

talking about her,
and what she meant to me.

So the Mimi part is paying
homage to your mother.

-Yeah.
-And then teapot?

Teapot
is my daughter's nickname.

Ah. So what's your charity?

RAINN is a charity
that supports people

who've been sexual assaulted
and abused.

I chose that one because I found
out someone I really care about

was abused as a kid
when I was a kid.

And it kind of fucked
with me a little bit,

because you start thinking,

I should have been there
to help you.

-Right.
-You know.

and I feel like shit,
I'm so sorry,

and you know.

Yeah.

When I first found out,
I was like, it--

I was angry.

Ever since then, I was like,
any way I can to give back,

take my damn money.

We're here for Snatch Game.

I see a wig here,
and I know this wig.

I told him about
the recent Whoopi scare

on Season 11.

Right?

When someone else did it
before me, I kind of go--

But he's a comedian, though.

Who was your second choice?

Joan Rivers.

Bob: But Kevin Hart is really--

Can you just do a little bit
of your Kevin Hart voice?

Okay, okay,
I'm--I'm--I'm here now.

I'm so sorry about
what I said on Twitter.

But listen,
my kid's in the back.

Uh, um, I'm nervous
as fuck right now.

The voices are down.

Well, you know,
I know you're not sure

because this
is a drag competition.

But, listen,
you're a creative person.

You know,
you could do Kevina Hart.

[both laugh]

You know what I mean?

Hmm. You a little genius,
ain't you?

You just--
you make me laugh.

That's important,
most important.

Make Ru laugh.

Absolutely.

Click-clack, boom.

Go with Kevina Hart.

Mm, mm, mm, mm.

Gather 'round, racers.

Now, tomorrow on the main stage,

we'll be playing the Snatch Game

in front of
a live studio audience.

[cheering]

Now, feel free to use hair
from Wigs and Grace

and makeup from
Anastasia Beverly Hills.

Now, racers, remember,
you're doing this for charity.

So don't fuck it up!

[all laugh]

-See you later.
-Thank you, Mother.

I'm choosing to do Kevina Hart,

but I'm still in my head about
where Imma take this character,

the right way, you know?

I wanna do it the right way.

Okay.

Right now, I feel like doing
my Chrissy Teigen impersonation

is gonna make my heart
fall out of my butt,

because I don't know
if I can bring it.

Vita-veeta--
Vita-veeta-vegemen.

I have to nail it.

I have to hit it perfectly,

or else every queen across
this country, across the world

will have something
to say about it.

Yeah. I'm nervous.end act

-Hey!
-Oh!

-Ho, ho, ho!
-Welcome.

It's day two in the werkroom,
and I'm pretty nervous

to see what I'm gonna look like
in full drag,

because I did a pretty bad job
with the quick drag.

So I think
it's gonna be a huge shock

when I finally see myself
all full dragged up.

Hi-ee.

Jordan: Y'all look nice.

As Beyoncé says, you know,
I woke up like this.

How was your evening?

-Great, it was great.
-I went right to bed.

It was emotional.

This is the night
before Snatch Game.

Is this the right decision?

Should I leave now?

[all laugh]
All right.

Where's Nico? We gotta shave
you up and get you together,

so we should get started.

Let's clean her up.

I'm feeling so much better
about Snatch Game.

I'm committed.
I'm going big.

Monét: Oh, my goodness.

I'm excited to transform.

I'm excited to, like,
get beautiful and compete.

Did you wanna get my balls
after this?

Yes, I'll do everything.

The idea is
it's Kevin Hart in drag.

It's sort of like
Kevin Hart's apology.

Got it. I love that.

Now, you know that winning
the Snatch Game is not enough,

because you gotta lip sync
for your life.

Jermaine: I do.

Bob: My tea is that...subtitles

-You ready?
-Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

The only thing making me
a little nervous

is that I just haven't found
time to practice our song,

and Jordan is very prepared.

Oh!

You're a heterosexual person

who's doing this
for the first time.

How are you doing this without
feeling, like, uncomfortable?

I don't know.

I mean, I think when
I was, like, 19, 20 years old,

and I was playing football
really seriously,

I would have been pretty scared
to do something like this.

But now, I think
the more you can learn

about other people's lives
or other cultures,

it's such a good insight.

At the end of the day,

I'm more secure
in my masculinity

by doing something like this.

Oh, my God.
Do you know how many gay people

aren't even comfortable
to get in drag?

Oh, really?

When I started doing drag,

I used to, like,
do it once a month,

and then when I wasn't doing it

I had, like, a box of drag
in my dorm room,

hidden, that nobody would see.

Wow. Oh, wow.

Because, you know,
when you're a man,

you're supposed to be like,
well, you don't like that.

You're not supposed to do that.

Totally, yeah. I think--

And then I was really guilty,

because I liked doing drag
and felt bad about it.

So I think it's interesting

that you can slip into this
and be like, and what?

Right.

I don't really have a lot
of straight male friends.

I mean, to be honest,
straight men still freak me out,

because when I was young,

it was just like I would
never fit in with them,

and they'll never think I'm cool
or normal or acceptable.

And so to have this experience
with Jordan, it inspires me.

I think it's cool.

Was there any part of you
that was nervous to come

and being on in drag?

Oh, definitely. I think like
the first thing I thought

was like, oh, no,

are people gonna judge me
for coming on here?

But then you quickly put that
away because that's stupid.

And then you just think, like,
you know, I'm gonna have fun,

and people are gonna love it.

And if they hate it,
then they're idiots.

-I fucking love that.
-Also, as actors,

for so long there have been
these, like, rules

that they have to act
a certain way,

dress a certain way,
like, behave a certain way,

and to be this, like,
leading man, right?

And times are changing
right now.

There's a lot of thoughts

to about embracing femininity
in black culture.

-Girl.
-Especially amongst comedians.

We do get put in boxes.

And you can only play a pimp,

you can only play a crackhead,

you can only play
a basketball player.

And so I was very inspired
by you and Monét,

you know,
just doing the show,

and just being a presence,
existing, you know?

It was very, very
fucking motivating.

That's why
I wanted to do the show.

I wanted to prove something
not to just myself,

but, you know, to the world,

that we don't have to put
ourselves in these boxes.

Going back to your point,

um, between me and Bob,

who's better, though?

[all laugh]
Trixie: Oh, my God.

I guess we'll find out
on the runway.

[all laugh]

As Nina West says, drag
is motherfucking magic, girl.

So let the magic happen.

Bippity-bobbity-boop.

Three, two, one, look.

[gasps]

[laughs] You are so extra.

Lucy comes alive.

This caricature of Lucy
finds herself in me.

Wah...

It's pretty good.

-What do you think?
-[laughs]

We're like halfway there.

Holy shit. Wow.

Seeing myself right now
is like this person

that I've never been before
coming to fruition.

I love it.

-[gasps]
-Oh, my God. Wow.

You look better in half-drag
than I ever have in full drag

my entire life.

I am complete fish right now,

and those other two queens
don't even know what gills are.

Just a little more work to do,

but I want you to see

how the transformation
is taking place.

-All right.
-All right, here we go.

[laughs] Oh!

-Yes, honey.
-Oh, my God!

I look so different.

I see my mom in the reflection
a little bit.

And honestly, there was
just some comfort there,

a lot of comfort.

After she passed away,
people would tell me, you know,

you've got pieces
of your mom in you.

It's a mind fuck. I got to see
my mom again, like, in me.

A little speechless.

Yeah.

celebrity impersonations

in the Snatch Game.

Celebrities, start your engines,
and may the best drag queen win.

Hey, everybody,
welcome to the Snatch Game.

[cheers and applause]

Let's meet our contestants.

She's a mother of 12
who spends her spare time

destroying her children's
self-esteem.

Welcome Monét X Change.

[cheers and applause]

Our next contestant
is a divorced housewife

whose dream of becoming
a country music star

was cut short when people
heard her sing.

[all laugh]

Please welcome Trixie Mattel.

It's not that funny.

Are you ready to meet
our celebrity panel?

Whoo!

[cheers and applause]

She runs Twitter.

John Legend's better half,
Chrissy Teigen.

So, Chrissy, how's the family?

The family is great.

They are doing God knows what.

How many kids do you have?

I have two children.

Do you know the father
of the children?

Of course.
He's a fucking Legend.

[all laugh]

When you were at the Oscars that
time and you made that face--

[all laugh]

It's when I'm really happy
for John,

and I know he's just gonna
fucking brag about it

when we get home.

[all laugh]

Jordan, who is not a comedian,
is actually making it work.

Next up, a very funny man

making her drag debut:
Kevina Hart.

Okay, okay, okay, thank you.

Yeah, okay, okay, okay.

Now, I understand
how this looks, all right?

Okay. All right.
Don't judge me, okay?

I'm rebranding myself, okay?

And I'm here to say I'm sorry.

I play to win, okay?

[all laugh]

-We're so happy you're here.
-I'm happy to be here, too.

And you found time to do
the Snatch Game in drag.

I found all the time.

I was in an Uber,
put all this on.

-Uh-huh.
-I did. I did.

They told me
to tuck in something.

Didn't wanna do that.
Didn't wanna do that.

I appreciate the opportunity.

Um, thank you very much.
Okay. Mm-hmm.

[laughter and applause]

The legendary queen of comedy
Lucille Ball is here.

Oh, please.
RuPaul's here and I'm just--

I'm just so happy
to be here, sir.

I mean, ma'am.

-Yes.
-I mean, sir.

-Yes.
-Eew.

Well, Lucy, do redheads
have more fun?

Well, Ru, if it was real,

I'd be able
to answer that question,

but it's not.

And joining our celebrities

is the winner of RuPaul's
Drag Race Season 8,

Bob the Drag Queen.

Bob, you've abbreviated
your name.

Well, just when Cardi B
tried to trademark "okurrr,"

I decided to trademark
the entire alphabet.

[all laugh]

Welcome. Trixie, Monét,
I will ask you the question.

Don't answer, and then
I'll go to the celebrities

and find out who has a match.

All right, let's play
the Snatch Game.

[cheers and applause]

Our first question
is for Trixie Mattel.

The ladies of The View
sure like to bicker.

Just last week they were arguing
about whose blank was bigger.

I see Lucy is trying to copy

from some of
the other celebrities.

They were arguing about
whose dressing room is bigger.

Well, let's go
to our celebrities

and find out who has a match.

Chrissy Teigen,
have you been on The View?

I've...
I have been on The View.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

I just wanted to share with you
guys my new cookbook.

It's Cooking for Queens.

Oh!

And my favorite recipe
right in here is spotted dick.

-Just so you guys know, yeah.
-Spotted dick, oh.

It looks like
the title of your book

is called Cocking For Queens.

[all laugh]
Oh, my God.

Is that a misprint or is--

I might have written it
that way.

I had something on my mind.

Can I try
some of that spotted dick?

You may, you may.

Thank you.

But anyway, my answer was pie.

Whose pie is bigger.

Not a match, unfortunately.

All right, Bob the Drag Queen,

the ladies of The View
sure like to bicker.

They love to bicker.
I just wrote "bicker, please."

[laughter and applause]

All right, Kevina Hart.

I heard you. Okay.

[all laugh]

I deduced. I used my reasoning.
I used common sense.

RuPaul: Okay.

Mm, mm, mm, bam.

IMDB page.

That is something

that the ladies of The View
would argue about.

It seems like it, right?
It seems like it, right?

Because they are all
in show business.

That's why I wrote it.

That's exactly why I wrote
the answer on the thing. Okay.

[all laugh]

Have you been on The View?

Are you a fan of that show?

I cannot go on The View
because the chairs are too high.

[all laugh]

Are you standing right now?

Why you ask me that?

[all laugh]

No reason.
No, just wondering.

Not a match for Trixie.

All right, let's move on down
to Lucille Ball.

I wrote whose kicker
is bigger, darling.

Now, is that
a sexual innuendo, Lucy?

I don't know what
you're talking about, Ru.

Well, Lucy, not a match.

[laughter and applause]

There's not a match for you,
Trixie.

Losing at Snatch Game
What a revelation.

[laughs]

Chrissy Teigen
is falling asleep.

[all laugh]

Chrissy! Wake up, Chrissy!

Yeah--yeah, I'm done.

How's--how's my head, Ru?

On Twitter, it says
you haven't had any complaints.

That's damn right.

Monét X Change, Cardi B
is running for president.

She wants to make America
blank again.

Ru, she wants to make America
strip again.

RuPaul: All right,
let's go to our celebrities.

Lucy!

Oh! Diddly, diddly, dee.

She wants to make America
diddly, diddly, dee again?

Maybe.

Lucy, you have
some 'splaining to do.

I'm sorry, Ricky!

[laughter and applause]

Eew.

What say you, Kevina Hart?

Mm, mm, mm, bam!

RuPaul:
What? Read it to me.

It says,
"Comedy tour this summer."

[all laugh]

Tickets on sale tonight.

Not a match
for Monét X Change, but--

God-dang it!

I messed up.

I messed up a lot,
and you know...

[sighs] I'm going home.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: No, come back here!

We forgive you.

But I have to ask.

Where the fuck
did you get that dress?

I found it at, like,
a poof park.

A poof park.

The poof park.

Trixie, Monét X Change's
Instagram account got suspended

after she posted a photo
of her blank.

I think it would get suspended

if she posted a photo
of her fucking sponge

for the five millionth time.

Ooh!

All right, so celebrities,
we're looking for sponge.

I got something
you're gonna like, Ru.

Is that a vitamin supplement?

Vagina-meta-ginger-minge.

Hello, friends.

I'm your
vagina-meta-ginger-minge girl.

Are you tired, rundown,
unpopular?

Do you poop out at parties?

Well, I've got
just the answer for you:

vagina-meta-ginger-minge!

The ingredients
in this bottle are...

Ginger Minge's vagina.

[all laugh]

Just one sip, and your problems
will go all away.

-Oh!
-Oh!

Lucy, did you write
anything down?

Vagina-meta-ginger-minge!

So we're gonna move on down
to Chrissy Teigen.

Monét X Change's Instagram
account got suspended

after she posted a photo
of her blank.

-Porn.
-Porn.

What did her porn
look like, Chrissy?

It looked like a sponge.

[all laugh]

That's not a match.

All right, let's move on down
to Kevina Hart.

Okay, I'm ready.

-Okay.
-I'm ready.

What did she post
that got her suspended?

One of Kevin Hart's tweets.

But, hey, we all make mistakes,
okay, okay?

I've grown.
Remember my dress?

[all laugh]

B-b-b-buzzer.

Oh, my goodness,
was that the buzzer?

I'm afraid it was.

-Aw.
-Yeah.

Yes, that means time is up.

That was a very close game,
but the winner is...

our lawyers.

[all laugh]

All right, until next time,

see you on Snatch Game.

Thank you, guys.end act

Now it's time
for the runway debut

of our celebrity glamazons.

Category is
Supermodel of the World,

inspired by yours truly.

This is Jordan Connor's before.

And allow me to introduce you
to Babykins La Roux.

Oh, Babykins!

Ooh, Babykins La RuPaul.

-Oh!
-Yeah!

Carson:
That was the money shot.

Babykins: After doing
all this drag,

I feel like
I've really found this person

that I knew
I always had inside.

I just want to do my best
at everything I do,

and give my full,
100% effort.

RuPaul: Nobody puts Babykins
in a corner.

I have been very lucky

to spend some time
with Mr. Jermaine Fowler.

But let me now introduce you
to Miss Mimi Teapot.

-Ooh!
-Wow!

RuPaul: You are serving
some Spinderella.

Where's Salt-N-Pepa?

Mimi: It means a lot
to be Miss Mimi Teapot,

and I'm representing
so many themes.

So, like, I gotta
make my mom proud.

Overall,
I'm making myself proud.

I've come a long way
from day one.

You guys may know
Nico Tortorella.

Now this is Olivette Isyou.

-Gorgeous!
-Oh, supermodel.

Ross:
Are those Hairy Winstons?

[all laugh]

Olivette: Category is
non-binary realness.

I want everyone to be able
to see a piece of themselves

in what I'm doing
and who Olivette is.

A version of Olivette exists
in every single one of us,

and it's up to us
to be able to find it.

♪ Sexy sexy drag queen ♪

RuPaul: Welcome, racers.

Oh, my God, it's like looking
in a three-way mirror.

[all laugh]

It's time
for the judges' critiques.

First up, Babykins La Roux.

You're mopping
my Bob Mackie look

from the VH-1 Fashion
and Music Awards.

I'm into this.

[laughs]

Your persona was such a bitch,
and I loved it.

You were giving us looks
on that runway

like, "Yes. You're welcome."

That's Babykins.

We could tell that you
didn't wanna leave the stage.

No.

You were having so much fun
with your wings,

with your posing.

They're not gonna look at you
the same on the Riverdale set.

-[laughs]
-In the Snatch Game,

I loved your cock book
moment. It was very funny.

Right out of the gate
you had a strong joke, you know,

and that is so important
in Snatch Game,

because then we feel like,
oh, I trust her.

She's got me.

What surprised you the most
about yourself

in this challenge?

Looking in the mirror
after having everything on,

I don't recognize myself at all.

It's somebody
completely different.

I feel awesome,
I feel wonderful

and beautiful and glamorous,
and I feel amazing and powerful.

I feel like a superhero.

It's confidence.
It feels good.

I don't wanna take this off.

Honestly, I'm looking at Jordan

and I'm trying to connect
shy, athletic guy

who was nervous yesterday
to this, like, new person.

It's amazing,
but it's not over yet.

He just delivered
a great runway,

and this lip sync could be
what takes him to the top.

Up next, Miss Mimi Teapot.

Now, you're mopping my look

from the Season 9
promo campaign.

It's my favorite one.

Fantastic job
in the Snatch Game.

I thought it was
thoroughly entertaining

from start to finish.

You were playing a drag queen
who was a straight guy.

There was a lot
of different layers there.

[laughs] Yes.

And it could have gotten

complicated and confusing,

and it did not.

It was such a smart choice

and a big risk
that really paid off.

-Thank you.
-This is a hard dress to wear.

This is a dress
that could wear you very easily,

and you came out here
and you slayed.

Thank you so much.

My favorite thing is you
were a girl that we all know.

Because you came out here like,

"I'm doing my job,
and then I got to go."

[all laugh]

What was the first thought
you had

when you looked in the mirror?

That I looked like my mother.

-Oh, really?
-Yeah.

What do you think
your mother would say right now

if she saw you?

Ah, man.

She's proud of me,
and she'd laugh.

[laughs]

She'd laugh her ass off.
She'd make fun of me first.

And then she'd say
she's proud of me.

What would you say
to your daughter right now?

I'd tell my daughter
it's okay to be yourself.

It's okay
to experience new things

and get out
of your comfort zone,

and not to be placed in a box
that society might put you in.

That's what my mom taught me.

It just makes sense
to teach her the same thing.

What a great way to exemplify
what your mother taught you.

Thank you.

Every kid wants to their mom
to be proud of them,

and in that moment he felt that
she is genuinely proud of him.

And I am, too.

Up next, Olivette Isyou.

Hi-ee.

Now, you're mopping my look

from my Supermodel
of the World video.

Thank you for sharing.

Gorgeous.

You look beautiful.

You came out, and you were
living and feeling, uh-huh.

-Mm.
-Every inch of it.

You really were.
And you looked--

I mean, this waist, though, huh?

She is snatched, henny.

You look stunning.

It is, you know,
quintessential drag glamour

from the hair
to the accessories,

which I'm living for.

And it was so fun
to watch on the runway.

What I loved about your Lucy
in the Snatch Game

was how committed you were
with the character,

with the noise, that "Eew.'

Carson: Then there is the wig,
the makeup, the costuming.

You looked like Lucille Ball.
It really sold it.

So of the whole competition,
did you have a favorite part?

The fact that
these two straight boys came

made it so much more special.

Because so much of my work

is about the collapsing of these
binaries and divisions, right?

And to see them find this

validates everything
that I do, you know?

Yeah. Well, thank you.

Thank you for having me.

I'm very proud
of my little mentee.

I think Nico's come a long way.

We both learned from each other
a lot in this process.

Now if Nico can come in

and do our little
boo-boo-bah-bah-dah-dah-dahs

in the lip sync,

I think we can win.

RuPaul: Thank you, racers.

I think we've heard enough.

Now, to prepare
for your final lip sync,

you may return to the
werkroom.end act

[gasps]

Duck.

Ooh, cocktails!

Uh-huh!

Trixie,
the cocktails are here.

It's crazy how
dressing like someone else

makes you absolutely sure
of who you are.

Doing drag has taught me so
much about myself out of drag,

and Jordan's been in drag
one day

and has had so many light bulbs
about himself.

-Let the ritual begin.
-Put them feet up!

Salud, y'all.

-Cheers.
-Salud.

Monét: You fucking
really did a great job.

Yeah, you did a challenge,
you did a runway.

How does it feel?

I do feel like I did better
than I really thought I would.

-Yeah?
-I was very nervous.

I am excited to lip sync.

Are you guys all confident
to lip sync?

No. I truly am not confident.

-Really?
-No!

[sighs] Okay,
I'm a little nervous now.

Great runway, great look,
and great Snatch Game,

but lip sync is where
you make it or break it.

Oh, the doors have swung open.

Do y'all know these people?

Oh, my God.

[both laugh]

I know!

I was like, wait,
where's Jordan?

No way!

Jordan!

Right now, my fiancée
and my sister

don't even recognize me.

I honestly
walked in to that door

and didn't think
you were sitting there.

-Really?
-I was like, "Where is he?"

-I was like, okay.
-I can't stop staring at you.

And in the best way.

It's like--it's really cool.

You getting turned on, baby?

How do you feel?
How do you think you look?

I feel great!

-Wow!
-Oh!

Babykins La Roux!

Door's open again.

-[laughs]
-[gasps]

That's my girlfriend.

-Oh, my God!
-I don't believe it.

Mwah!

Where are your boobies?

Oh, they're cutlets.
They're down here.

Some of 'em
fell down my stomach.

His mother
passed away last year,

so I, like,
didn't wanna say this,

but you look just like her.

I already cried on stage
talking about this.

Oh, okay.
You look like your mom.

Yeah, I know.

Bob: Did you tell her
your drag name?

It's Miss Mimi Teapot.

Oh, my God, our baby.
He calls her baby Teapot.

She, you know, used to
Facetime my mom all the time

before she passed away.

It's actually really sweet that
she got to see my mom again,

like, in me, like, through me.

You look like your mom.

I know. That's why
it's hard to talk to you.

It's beautiful.
You look beautiful.

I feel beautiful.

-Hi-ee!
-Oh, here we go!

What the fuck?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, amazing.

Look at you!

My friends Ryan Tunic
and Courtney

just walked into the werkroom.

Your face.
You're like a baby.

I'm just so excited for them
to see me like this.

This is for later.

Oh, my God, Nico.

I'm excited to, like, feel it,

get lost in it, dance in it.

-I'm so happy you're both here.
-I'm so happy to be here.

Thank you for coming.

Win for us, baby!

-I love you.
-Okay.

Mwah, mwah.

-You look so good!
-Thank you.

I appreciate it.

This lip sync is,
to quote one of the greats,

your last chance to impress me.

-Good luck, girls.
-Break a leg.

Good luck, ladies.

This could be the thing

where you just come out there
and turn it all around.

It's not over
till it's over, bitch.

Going into the lip sync,

I feel like I know I have to
knock it out of the park.

This is the moment
where you have to

lay it all out
on the line.

Lip syncing
is not my strong suit,

but I know if I can deliver
this song the right way,

I'm gonna win.

This is my last chance
to win this.

When the music starts
and the lights go down,

this is it. Game on.

Welcome back, racers.

This is your last chance
to impress me,

earn $30.000
for the cause of your choice,

and win the title of America's
next celebrity drag superstar.

The time has come...
[thunder]

for you to lip sync...

[echoing] for your charity!

[cheers and applause]

Good luck,
and don't fuck it up.

[cheers and applause]

You been doing drag one day
and you already won Drag Race.

Good for you.

[all laugh]

I just wanna say
that this has been

one of the greatest experiences
of my life.

It has been amazing.

I feel so empowered
as a man and as a woman.

And I wanna spread that
everywhere I go.

I feel like everyone needs
to do drag once in their life.

It's incredible.

All right.
I'm so happy.

I did not expect him
to say that.

It was, like, that made me feel
really good about drag.

Jermaine and Nico,
you both did an amazing job,

and you've earned $10.000
for your charities.

-Oh, my God!
-Thank you very much.

I appreciate that.

I feel excited for Jordan.

I got paired
with two straight boys

who are at the beginning stages

of exploring
their own femininity,

and it's so beautiful
to watch it unravel.

Now, remember,
if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell
you gonna love somebody else?

Can I get an amen up in here?

-Amen!
-Amen!

All right,
now let the music play.
