RU PAUL'S DRAG RACE - MICHELLE VISAGE and CARSON KRESSLEY INTERVIEW (2021)

Who’s ready to ring in the “Ru Year” with Season 13 of the Emmy-winning RuPaul’s Drag Race. The drag reality competition is set to make its season premiere on January 1, 2021 at 8PM ET/PT on VH1 and will simulcast on The CW, MTV, MTV2, PopTV and Logo.

After winning six Emmy® Awards this year and solidifying itself as the most awarded reality competition show in history, the highly anticipated new season is bringing together thirteen fabulous queens as they vie for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar” and a cash prize of $100,000.

Also back for more fun and games are host regulars Ru Paul, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Matthews.

Additionally, the Emmy®-nominated after-show RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked will premiere immediately following at 9:30PM ET/PT. “Untucked” brings viewers behind the scenes to the backstage drama as the queens anxiously await their fate and see who will need to lip-sync for their life to avoid the week’s elimination.

“Competing safely and fiercely, our 13 queens proved that it takes more than a global pandemic to keep a good queen down,” said Executive Producer and five-time Emmy® Award-winning host, RuPaul.

The thirteen competing queens hail from Chicago, Los Angeles, Phoenix, New York, Atlanta, Las Vegas and Minneapolis. (Click here for More Information.)
