RuPaul Critiques Stephen Colbert’s Drag Persona, Talks Early Struggles on Late Show
When The Queen speaks, you listen.
On a recent and rare appearance on a mainstream talk show, RuPaul descended from her throne to pay Stephen Colbert a visit on The Late Show. Topics of discussion ranged from why using your real name in show business is detrimental at the gynecologist, to Colbert's own drag alter ego, "Raven."
"Look at all that ass," said RuPaul, "you know, you look like Selma Blair." Colbert seemed tickled at the comparison (as anyone would be), before Mama Ru suggested that everyone should try drag at least once, just to better know the difference between their own yin and yang. But, maybe have a professional help you out the first time around. It's hardly fair if you're comparing your everyday yang to a low-rent beginner's version of your yin. Watch below.
