RuPaul is a man of many talents. Never mind that
RuPaul’s Drag Race is just the hottest and most uplifting reality show in the game (with, oh we don’t know, a bajillion Emmys under its belt?), RuPaul has released 13 albums ("You better WORK!"), he’s got a new Vegas show called
RuPaul’s Drag Race Live, a hit TV series called
AJ and the Queen and is soon-to-be hosting
Saturday Night Live with musical guest Justin Bieber (ever heard of him?). Oh, he's also the first ever drag queen to grace the cover of Vanity Fair.“A drag queen? A drag queeen? I am THE QUEEN OF DRAG,” he corrected a very wrong Jimmy Fallon Thursday night on
The Tonight Show. How very dare you, Jimmy? Show some love to our Kween.If all of those achievements aren’t enough to make your head spin, have you ever considered that maybe RuPaul is also one of the funniest entertainers out there and a master of games? If you're a
Drag Race fan, you know. He demonstrated for Jimmy by setting up a short round of Dirty Charades. That's right—take charades and make it naughty, as only RuPaul can.
“This is dirty charades, where you just change one word in the title. You know? You have a movie or a book or a TV show or a song. And you change one word,” he explained with his signature giggle. But honey, you can’t explain such a fun concept without giving your little minions a taste.So our very regal Kween stood up, looking fierce in his checkered white and chestnut-brown suit, and proceeded to mime, mimic, and strike a pose until the audience discovered his dirty little charade to which Jimmy responded, “You are just in big trouble.” Nah, we’re pretty sure John Travolta would approve.We can only hope this charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent carries over into the new Canadian incarnation of the show,
Drag Race Canada, which will premiere on
Crave later this year. Until then, we'll have to satisfy ourselves with
re-watching past seasons of the OG
RuPaul's Drag Race and the new season coming February 28.[video_embed id='1791271']RELATED: We got a surprise visit from one of the judges of ‘Canada’s Drag Race’[/video_embed]All of this success and talent didn’t come overnight. As
RuPaul tells it for the uninitiated, he slugged it out for years in the clubs and dancehalls of New York under a different name. “I was up at the Pyramid Club and Danceteria,” which if you don’t know your NYC lore, Danceteria is the very club where Madonna got her big break. “Danceteria and Mars and stuff. But after about 2:00 A.M., after a few cocktails, I'd turn into Cupcake.” We can’t imagine RuPaul going by the name Cupcake, because even though he’s sweet AF, he sure ain’t no softie. He’s fierce and that’s how we like him!Watch
